Worked example
4.35 µmol/L (middle of the reference range) = 1.8 mg/L
Conversion formulas
| mg/L | mg/L = µmol/L × 0.4147 | µmol/L = mg/L × 2.411 |
|---|---|---|
| mg/dL | mg/dL = µmol/L × 0.04147 | µmol/L = mg/dL × 24.11 |
| µg/dL | µg/dL = µmol/L × 41.47 | µmol/L = µg/dL × 0.02411 |
| µg/L | µg/L = µmol/L × 414.7 | µmol/L = µg/L × 0.002411 |
| nmol/L | nmol/L = µmol/L × 1000 | µmol/L = nmol/L × 0.001 |
Good to know
Sitosterol in plasma is reported in µmol/L or in mg/L. The limit shown is an upper limit for adults.
- mg/L × 2.41 = µmol/L (exact factor 2.4113).
- Protect the sample from light and send it frozen or cooled as the laboratory asks. Sterol values are often also read as a ratio to cholesterol.
