Conversion factors Flashcards
Conventional Unit vs SI Unit
Weight/Volume difference
Conventional = mg/dL
SI = µg/dL; SI Unit = Molar Units (Most common = mmol/L)
Glucose (mg/dL to mmol/L)
Glucose: mmol/L = mg/dL × 0.0555
Urea (mg/dL to mmol/L)
Urea: mmol/L = mg/dL × 0.167
BUN (mg/dL to mmol/L)
BUN: mmol/L = mg/dL × 0.357
BUN to Urea Conversion
BUN (mg/dL) × 2.14 = Urea (mg/dL)
Urea to BUN Conversion
Urea (mg/dL) ÷ 2.14 = BUN (mg/dL)
