pmol/L pg/mL = ng/L ng/dL

Worked example

37.5 pg/mL (middle of the reference range) = 10.8 pmol/L

Conversion formulas

pmol/L	pmol/L = pg/mL × 0.2871	pg/mL = pmol/L × 3.483
ng/dL	ng/dL = pg/mL × 0.1	pg/mL = ng/dL × 10

Reference range

Unit	Adults
pmol/L	7.178 – 14.36
pg/mL = ng/L	25 – 50
ng/dL	2.5 – 5
