Worked example
0.7 mmol/L (middle of the reference range) = 0.486 mg/dL
Conversion formulas
| mg/dL | mg/dL = mmol/L × 0.694 | mmol/L = mg/dL × 1.441 |
|---|---|---|
| mg/L | mg/L = mmol/L × 6.94 | mmol/L = mg/L × 0.1441 |
| µg/dL | µg/dL = mmol/L × 694 | mmol/L = µg/dL × 0.001441 |
| µmol/L | µmol/L = mmol/L × 1000 | mmol/L = µmol/L × 0.001 |
| µg/L | µg/L = mmol/L × 6940 | mmol/L = µg/L × 0.0001441 |
Reference range
| Unit | Adults |
|---|---|
| mg/dL | 0.2776 – 0.694 |
| mmol/L = mEq/L | 0.4 – 1 |
| mg/L | 2.776 – 6.94 |
| µg/dL | 277.6 – 694 |
| µmol/L | 400 – 1000 |
| µg/L | 2776 – 6940 |
