How do I convert GABA (CSF) from ng/mL to nmol/L?

nmol/L = ng/mL × 9.697. In the other direction: ng/mL = nmol/L × 0.1031.

Which units are used for GABA (CSF)?

Common units are ng/mL, nmol/L.

Neurology & psychiatry

GABA in cerebrospinal fluid (inhibitory neurotransmitter; GABA transaminase deficiency)

Also known as: GABA (Liquor)

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

ng/mL nmol/L

10 nmol/L = 1.03 ng/mL

nmol/L	nmol/L = ng/mL × 9.697	ng/mL = nmol/L × 0.1031

GABA (CSF) is reported in ng/mL or nmol/L. The page converts between the units only.

nmol/L × 0.1031 = ng/mL (exact factor 0.1031).
CSF values are only meaningful together with a blood sample taken at the same time; no established reference range is listed here.
