- Abstract
The article examines the reasons why a urine specimen collected from a 61-year-old male patient for hyponatremia evaluation failed to freeze. Topics mentioned include the factors that contributed to serum and urine osmolality, the level of ethanol in the urine, the measurement range of freezing point depression osmometers, and the importance of robust specimen collection and processing systems.
