Albumin: g/dL to g/L

US labs usually print albumin in g/dL, most European labs in g/L. To convert, multiply g/dL by 10; to go back, divide g/L by 10.

Value

g/dL

Same value in42g/L

g/L = g/dL × 10

This converter changes units only. It doesn’t tell you whether a number is in or out of any range: that depends on the range printed by your own lab, and on your doctor. Soma does not diagnose and is not medical advice.

The formula

g/dL → g/L: g/L = g/dL × 10
g/L → g/dL: g/dL = g/L ÷ 10
Where 10 comes from: Both units count the weight of albumin in a volume of blood; only the volume differs. A litre is ten decilitres, so 1 g/dL is 10 g/L.

Common values, converted

About the test

Albumin is the main protein in blood, made by the liver. It keeps fluid inside the blood vessels and carries other substances around the body.

Questions

How do I convert albumin from g/dL to g/L?

Multiply g/dL by 10. For example, 4.2 g/dL is 42 g/L.

How do I convert albumin from g/L to g/dL?

Divide g/L by 10. For example, 40 g/L is 4 g/dL.

Why is the factor 10?

Because a litre is ten decilitres. Both units count the same weight; g/L counts it in a volume ten times larger than g/dL, so its number is ten times larger.

Soma converts straight from the PDF

Share a lab report to Soma, and it reads every row on your phone and converts the units for you, so a Quest result in mg/dL and a Synlab result in mmol/L sit on one chart, each against its own lab’s range. No account, nothing uploaded.
