| osmolar concentration | The concentration of osmotically active particles in solution expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per liter of solution. Osmolality is expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| urinary concentration test | A test of renal tubular function whereby the patient is dehydrated for a measured period of time and the specific gravity of the urine is subsequently determined. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fishberg concentration test | A test of renal water conservation; after overnight fluid deprivation, morning urine samples are collected and specific gravity is measured. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molar | <mechanics> Of or pertaining to a mass of matter; said of the properties or motions of masses, as distinguished from those of molecules or atoms. Origin: L. Moles mass. <anatomy> Any one of the teeth back of the incisors and canines. The molar which replace the deciduous or milk teeth are designated as premolars, and those which are not preceded by deciduous teeth are sometimes called true molars. See Tooth.
