g/dL g/L mg/dL mg/L

Worked example

7.5 g/L (middle of the reference range) = 0.75 g/dL

Conversion formulas

g/dL	g/dL = g/L × 0.1	g/L = g/dL × 10
mg/dL	mg/dL = g/L × 100	g/L = mg/dL × 0.01
mg/L	mg/L = g/L × 1000	g/L = mg/L × 0.001

Good to know

Alpha-2 globulin is a protein fraction in serum protein electrophoresis. It is reported in g/dL or in g/L.

g/dL × 10 = g/L; 0.8 g/dL equals 8 g/L.
The fractions add up to the total protein; the printed ranges depend on the laboratory's method.

Reference range

Unit	Adults
g/dL	0.6 – 0.9
g/L	6 – 9
mg/dL	600 – 900
mg/L	6000 – 9000

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert Alpha-2 globulin from g/L to mg/dL?

mg/dL = g/L × 100. In the other direction: g/L = mg/dL × 0.01.

What is the reference range of Alpha-2 globulin?

For adults the range is 6 – 9 g/L (MedlinePlus (NLM): Protein electrophoresis - serum). Reference ranges differ between laboratories and partly by sex and age; use the range printed on your lab report.

Which units are used for Alpha-2 globulin?

Common units are g/dL, g/L, mg/dL, mg/L.
