Creatinine Unit Converter
Convert creatinine between mg/dL and µmol/L.
Enter your values to see the result.
Creatinine: 1 mg/dL = 88.42 µmol/L. Normal ranges depend on sex, age and muscle mass; use eGFR to judge kidney function.

Understand the method, inputs and limits behind your result.
- Formula
- Creatinine(µmol/L) = creatinine(mg/dL) × 88.42. Reverse conversion divides by 88.42.
- Variables
- Convert: mg/dL → µmol/L, µmol/L → mg/dL
- Value
- Units
- Use the units shown beside each input. Counts and ratios are dimensionless unless labeled otherwise.
- Example
- A creatinine of 1.0 mg/dL equals 88.4 µmol/L, and 120 µmol/L equals 1.36 mg/dL.
- Assumptions
- Creatinine: 1 mg/dL = 88.42 µmol/L. Normal ranges depend on sex, age and muscle mass; use eGFR to judge kidney function.

Methodology & References
The method depends on the selected model and input options. Review the assumptions and references above before interpreting the result.
- Choose mg/dL to µmol/L or the reverse.
- Enter the creatinine value.
- Read the converted result and the conversion table.
Interpretation and limitations
- 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.
