Worked example
30 mg/dL (middle of the reference range) = 0.3 g/L
Conversion formulas
| g/L | g/L = mg/dL × 0.01 | mg/dL = g/L × 100 |
|---|---|---|
| µmol/L | µmol/L = mg/dL × 0.1818 | mg/dL = µmol/L × 5.5 |
| mg/L | mg/L = mg/dL × 10 | mg/dL = mg/L × 0.1 |
| nmol/L | nmol/L = mg/dL × 181.8 | mg/dL = nmol/L × 0.0055 |
Good to know
Prealbumin (transthyretin) is reported in g/L or in mg/dL.
- g/L × 100 = mg/dL (exact factor 100).
- It falls in any inflammation, so a low value does not by itself prove poor nutrition.
Reference range
| Unit | Adults | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|---|
| g/L | 0.1 – 0.5 | 0.2 – 0.5 | 0.1 – 0.4 |
| mg/dL | 10 – 50 | 20 – 50 | 10 – 40 |
| µmol/L | 1.818 – 9.091 | 3.636 – 9.091 | 1.818 – 7.273 |
| mg/L | 100 – 500 | 200 – 500 | 100 – 400 |
| nmol/L | 1818 – 9091 | 3636 – 9091 | 1818 – 7273 |

Note from the source: Men 0.2-0.5 g/L (20-50 mg/dL), women 0.1-0.4 g/L (10-40 mg/dL) (Newcastle Hospitals Laboratories, Sheffield Protein Reference Unit). Falls in inflammation, so it is a weak nutrition marker on its own
