Worked example
186 µmol/L (middle of the reference range) = 2.72 mg/dL
Conversion formulas
| mg/dL | mg/dL = µmol/L × 0.01462 | µmol/L = mg/dL × 68.4 |
|---|---|---|
| mmol/L | mmol/L = µmol/L × 0.001 | µmol/L = mmol/L × 1000 |
| mg/L | mg/L = µmol/L × 0.1462 | µmol/L = mg/L × 6.84 |
| µg/dL | µg/dL = µmol/L × 14.62 | µmol/L = µg/dL × 0.0684 |
Good to know
Lysine in plasma is reported in µmol/L or in mg/dL. It is part of the plasma amino acid profile.
- mg/dL × 68.4 = µmol/L (exact factor 68.404).
- Ranges depend on age and fasting state, so the range shown applies to fasting adults; the sample should reach the laboratory quickly and cooled.
Reference range
| Unit | Adults |
|---|---|
| mg/dL | 1.374 – 4.064 |
| µmol/L | 94 – 278 |
| mmol/L | 0.094 – 0.278 |
| mg/L | 13.74 – 40.64 |
| µg/dL | 1374 – 4064 |
