Descriptor manitol
Scope note: Diurético y adyuvante en el diagóstico renal, relacionado con el sorbitol. Posee poco valor calórico y es eliminado por el organismo antes que se produzca su metabolización. Puede utilizarse en la oliguria asociada a insuficiencia renal y en otras manifestaciones de disfunción renal y ha sido utilizado para la determinación de la velocidad de filtración glomerular. El manitol también se utiliza frecuentemente como herramienta diagnóstica en estudios de biología celular, generalmente para controlar la osmolaridad.

Scope note: A diuretic and renal diagnostic aid related to sorbitol. It has little significant energy value as it is largely eliminated from the body before any metabolism can take place. It can be used to treat oliguria associated with kidney failure or other manifestations of inadequate renal function and has been used for determination of glomerular filtration rate. Mannitol is also commonly used as a research tool in cell biological studies, usually to control osmolarity.
