How do I convert Urea (CSF) from mg/dL to mmol/L?

mmol/L = mg/dL × 0.1665. In the other direction: mg/dL = mmol/L × 6.006.

Which units are used for Urea (CSF)?

Common units are mmol/L, mg/dL.

Urine & CSF

Urea in cerebrospinal fluid (blood-CSF equilibration)

Also known as: Harnstoff (Liquor)

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

mmol/L mg/dL

1 mmol/L = 6.01 mg/dL

mmol/L	mmol/L = mg/dL × 0.1665	mg/dL = mmol/L × 6.006

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

mmol/L × 6.006 = mg/dL (exact factor 6.006).
CSF values are only meaningful together with a blood sample taken at the same time; no established reference range is listed here.
