Osmotic diuresis is increased urination due to the presence of certain substances in the fluid filtered by the kidneys. (This fluid eventually becomes urine.)
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsHigh blood sugar (glucose) can cause osmotic diuresis, as can medications such as Mannitol.

∙ 12y agoOsmotic diuresis is increased urination due to the presence of certain substances in the fluid filtered by the kidneys. This fluid eventually becomes urine. These substances cause additional water to come into the urine, increasing its amount.
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsOsmotic diuresis can be caused by:
- High blood sugar (glucose)
- Use of certain medications, including Mannitol.

Difference between osmotic diuresis and water diuresis?
Osmotic Diuresis Water diuresis *High amount of H2O reabsoebed in *Normal absorption. PCT. *A lot of solutes are lost. *loss of solute amount is less. *Very high amounts of urine are *Amounts of urine produced are less produced. than that in osmotic diuresis. *Low medullary osmolality. *High medullary osmolality. *Normal *The limiting concentration gradient *The limiting gradient is not reached. for Na is reached at PCT. *Hyponatremia may occur. *Takes more time to get hyponatremia.
How do osmotic saline laxatives work?
The osmotic saline laxative work by causing an osmotic effect. This osmotic effect takes place primarily within the small intestines. This causes, eventually, a movement of the bowels.
What is the difference between Osmotic and Oncotic pressure?

What is osmotic rate?
the change of osmotic pressure over time
What is the meaning of osmotic?
Pertaining to, or having the property of, osmose; as, osmotic force.
What is the osmotic coefficient of NaCl?
The osmotic coefficient of sodium chloride is 0,93.

What is it called when cells burst because of osmotic pressure?
Cytolysis or Osmotic-lysis
What is the relationship between TDS and osmotic pressure?
TDS increases the osmotic pressure. From the formula, Osmotic pressure = CRT. C as the concentration in mol / L; R = gas constant; T = temperature. The higher the concentration of the solids, the higher is its osmotic pressure.
Calculate the osmotic pressure of 0.500 M sodium chloride at 25oC.?
The osmotic pressure is 24,44 at.
What is the component of plasma that maintains the osmotic pressure of blood?
The component of plasma that maintains the osmotic pressure of blood is protein. The protein albumin and others maintain osmotic pressure in blood.
Are the terms ''hypertonic'' and ''hyperosmotic'' same?
No. Hypertonic can be seen as hypo-osmotic and same for hypotonic and hyper-osmotic
What do plasma proteins that remain in the blood capillaries help?
Maintain the osmotic pressure of the blood
What is osmotic?
The root word in osmotic is osmosis. Osmosis is the act of water or fluid passing through a thin membrane. Osmotic is when fluid, like water absorbs through a membrane into a liquid solution.
