Converter

Use the open group browser to choose a conversion group. When All conversions is selected, a search box appears to help locate a specific laboratory analyte or unit quickly.

Select conversion group
Select “All conversions” to use the search box, or choose a group to narrow the list.
Search all conversions, then choose from the filtered list below.
Tip: Press Enter in the input field to convert.

Clinical note: Unit conversion does not verify the clinical meaning of a value. Confirm the specimen type, assay, reference interval, and local laboratory reporting convention before using converted values in clinical care.
Included conversion groups

This consolidated tool is organized into practical clinical sections for faster bedside use, with emphasis on obstetric, laboratory, selected medication-monitoring, and physical-unit conversions.

Sectioned clinical and laboratory conversions
  • Physical Units: mass/weight, length, volume, temperature, pressure, with unit coverage aligned to the individual standalone converters where possible.
  • Chemistry and minerals: albumin/total protein, bilirubin, BUN/urea, calcium, cholesterol, copper, creatinine, glucose, ionized calcium, magnesium, phosphate, triglycerides, uric acid.
  • Endocrine and pregnancy: 17-hydroxyprogesterone, aldosterone, beta-hCG, DHEA-S, estradiol, prolactin, progesterone, thyroid tests.
  • Hematology/coagulation: D-dimer, fibrinogen, hemoglobin, platelets, WBC.
  • Vitamins/nutrition/iron: alpha-1 antitrypsin, ferritin, folate, iron, transferrin, vitamin B12, vitamin D 25-OH D2/D3/total, vitamin D 1,25-(OH)2.
  • Enzymes: alkaline phosphatase, ALT, amylase, AST, GGT, LDH, lipase.
  • Medication monitoring: selected therapeutic-drug conversions commonly encountered in clinical care, including anticonvulsants, cardiac medications, antibiotics, anticoagulants, and selected obstetric-relevant medications.
  • Additional labs: selected specialized laboratory conversions. Recreational-drug, poison-specific, and nonessential toxicology conversions are intentionally excluded from this OB-focused public calculator.
Physical Units
  • Mass/weight: microgram(s), milligram(s), gram(s), kilogram(s), grain(s), ounce(s), pound(s)
  • Length: millimeter(s), centimeter(s), meter(s), kilometer(s), inch(es), foot(feet), yard(s), mile(s)
  • Volume: milliliter(s), deciliter(s), liter(s), teaspoon(s), tablespoon(s), fluid ounce(s), cup(s), pint(s), quart(s), gallon(s)
  • Temperature: Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin
  • Pressure: mm Hg (0 C), Torr, cm H2O (4 C), kPa, PSI
The pressure conversions preserve the same unit set as the prior standalone pressure converter: mm Hg, Torr, cm H2O, kPa, and PSI.
References and formulas

Formula and reference notes are shown here so the conversion basis is visible on the page. For most linear laboratory conversions, the calculator uses: SI value = conventional value x conversion factor; to convert back, conventional value = SI value / conversion factor.

  • Molecular weight and unit equivalence: Common chemical analyte conversions are based on molecular weight or direct unit equivalence where applicable. Local laboratory conversion factors should be used when provided by the reporting laboratory.
  • HbA1c: NGSP/IFCC master equation: IFCC mmol/mol = (NGSP percent - 2.15) x 10.929; NGSP percent = (0.09148 x IFCC mmol/mol) + 2.152. NGSP IFCC conversion.
  • Temperature: F = (C x 9/5) + 32; C = (F - 32) x 5/9.
  • Pressure: Physical unit conversions include mm Hg, Torr, cm H2O, kPa, and PSI and preserve the units used in the prior Perinatology.com pressure conversion calculator.
  • D-dimer caution: FEU and DDU results are assay conventions and should not be interchanged unless the laboratory method specifies the relationship. The calculator separates FEU unit scaling only.
  • Assay-dependent hormones: Some hormone conversions, especially prolactin in mIU/L, can vary by assay calibration. Use the local laboratory conversion factor when provided.
