Bilirubin: mg/dL to µmol/L
1 mg/dL = 17.1036 µmol/L
Reference only. These conversions are arithmetic, not medical advice. Reference ranges differ between laboratories, and results should be interpreted by a clinician alongside the lab's own reported units and ranges.
Conversion table
| mg/dL | µmol/L |
|---|---|
| 0.3 mg/dL | 5.1311 µmol/L |
| 0.5 mg/dL | 8.5518 µmol/L |
| 1 mg/dL | 17.1036 µmol/L |
| 1.2 mg/dL | 20.5243 µmol/L |
| 2 mg/dL | 34.2072 µmol/L |
| 3 mg/dL | 51.3107 µmol/L |
| 5 mg/dL | 85.5179 µmol/L |
| 10 mg/dL | 171.0358 µmol/L |
Going the other way, 1 µmol/L = 0.058467 mg/dL.
Why this conversion needs the substance
mg/dL measures mass; µmol/L measures amount of substance. Converting between them needs the molar mass of the thing being measured — for bilirubin that is 584.673 g/mol. That is why a generic converter can't do it, and why every analyte has a different factor.
Jotal works this out from molar mass rather than a stored factor, so write
bilirubin 2 mg/dL in µmol/L and it answers 34.2072 µmol/L. Leave the substance out
and it deliberately returns nothing rather than guessing.
