Worked example

Glucose 100 mg/dL is 5.55 mmol/L, and vitamin D 30 ng/mL is 74.9 nmol/L.

Why do countries use different units?

The US mostly uses mass units (mg/dL), while most other countries use SI molar units (mmol/L), which count molecules.

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.
