About this tool

Convert creatinine between mg/dL and µmol/L.

How to use Creatinine Unit Converter

  1. Choose mg/dL to µmol/L or the reverse.
  2. Enter the creatinine value.
  3. Read the converted result and the conversion table.

Worked example

A creatinine of 1.0 mg/dL equals 88.4 µmol/L, and 120 µmol/L equals 1.36 mg/dL.

Does creatinine alone show kidney function?

No. It depends on age, sex and muscle mass, so use it to calculate eGFR.

Why do reference ranges differ between labs?

Ranges depend on the analyzer, method and population. Always compare your result with the range printed on your own lab report.
