How do I convert Bilirubin (CSF) from mg/dL to µmol/L?

µmol/L = mg/dL × 17.1. In the other direction: mg/dL = µmol/L × 0.05847.

Which units are used for Bilirubin (CSF)?

Common units are mg/dL, µmol/L.

Urine & CSF

Bilirubin in cerebrospinal fluid (xanthochromia after subarachnoid haemorrhage)

Also known as: Bilirubin (Liquor)

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

mg/dL µmol/L

100 µmol/L = 5.85 mg/dL

µmol/L	µmol/L = mg/dL × 17.1	mg/dL = µmol/L × 0.05847

Bilirubin (CSF) is reported in mg/dL or µmol/L. The page converts between the units only.

µmol/L × 0.05847 = mg/dL (exact factor 0.05847).
CSF values are only meaningful together with a blood sample taken at the same time; no established reference range is listed here.
