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

µmol/L = mg/dL × 67.97. In the other direction: mg/dL = µmol/L × 0.01471.

Which units are used for Glutamate (CSF)?

Common units are mg/dL, µmol/L.

Neurology & psychiatry

Glutamate in cerebrospinal fluid (excitatory neurotransmitter; stroke, ALS)

Also known as: Glutamat (Liquor)

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

mg/dL µmol/L

100 µmol/L = 1.47 mg/dL

µmol/L	µmol/L = mg/dL × 67.97	mg/dL = µmol/L × 0.01471

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

µmol/L × 0.01471 = mg/dL (exact factor 0.01471).
CSF values are only meaningful together with a blood sample taken at the same time; no established reference range is listed here.
