Worked example
80.5 µmol/L (middle of the reference range) = 1.01 mg/dL
Conversion formulas
| mg/dL | mg/dL = µmol/L × 0.01252 | µmol/L = mg/dL × 79.9 |
|---|---|---|
| mg/L | mg/L = µmol/L × 0.1252 | µmol/L = mg/L × 7.99 |
| µg/dL | µg/dL = µmol/L × 12.52 | µmol/L = µg/dL × 0.0799 |
Good to know
Taurine in plasma is reported in µmol/L or in mg/dL. It is part of the plasma amino acid profile.
- mg/dL × 79.9 = µmol/L (exact factor 79.904).
- 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 | 0.3629 – 1.652 |
| µmol/L | 29 – 132 |
| mg/L | 3.629 – 16.52 |
| µg/dL | 362.9 – 1652 |
