2 mg/dL to µmol/L (Creatinine)
The answer, the conversion math, and a table of nearby creatinine values. Unit conversion only; this page does not interpret the value clinically.
How 2 mg/dL of creatinine converts to µmol/L
Creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism filtered by the kidneys, reported on a basic or comprehensive metabolic panel. Creatinine is reported in mg/dL on U.S. lab reports and in µmol/L on UK, Canadian, Australian, and most European reports.
The conversion factor used here is 88.42. Because creatinine's molecular weight (113.12 g/mol) is small and the SI unit is µmol/L (micromoles, not millimoles), the factor 88.42 is much larger than the mg/dL to mmol/L factors used for lipids. Applied here: 2 mg/dL × 88.42 = 176.84 µmol/L.
