How do I convert Adenosine deaminase (pleural fluid) from U/L to µkat/L?

µkat/L = U/L × 0.01667. In the other direction: U/L = µkat/L × 60.

Enter a value in any unit and all other units fill in.

µkat/L U/L

1 µkat/L = 60 U/L

µkat/L	µkat/L = U/L × 0.01667	U/L = µkat/L × 60

Adenosine deaminase (pleural fluid) is reported in U/L or µkat/L. The page converts between the units only.

µkat/L × 60 = U/L (exact factor 60).
Fluid results are interpreted together with a blood sample taken at the same time; there is no single normal range.
