- Urea nitrogen (BUN)
Urea nitrogen (BUN): mg/dL to mmol/L
US labs print urea nitrogen (BUN) in mg/dL; European labs print urea itself in mmol/L, which is the same number of molecules. To convert, divide mg/dL by 2.8014; to go back, multiply mmol/L by 2.8014.
mmol/L = mg/dL ÷ 2.8014 · molar mass 28.014 g/mol
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
- mg/dL → mmol/L
- mmol/L = mg/dL ÷ 2.8014
- mmol/L → mg/dL
- mg/dL = mmol/L × 2.8014
- Where 2.8014 comes from
- mg/dL counts the weight of urea nitrogen (BUN) in a volume of blood, mmol/L the number of molecules. One mole of the two nitrogen atoms of urea, N₂ weighs 28.014 g; with that and the difference in volume, one mmol/L is 2.8014 mg/dL.

About the test
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is the same thing as urea, on a different scale: the one used in the US.
About the urea nitrogen (BUN) test · BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) — MedlinePlus (U.S. National Library of Medicine).
Questions
How do I convert urea nitrogen (BUN) from mg/dL to mmol/L?
Divide mg/dL by 2.8014. For example, 15 mg/dL is 5.35 mmol/L.
How do I convert urea nitrogen (BUN) from mmol/L to mg/dL?
Multiply mmol/L by 2.8014. For example, 8 mmol/L is 22.4 mg/dL.
Why is the factor 2.8014?
It follows from the molar mass of the two nitrogen atoms of urea, N₂, 28.014 g/mol, and from the volume each unit counts in.
