About
The Medical Unit Converter converts between conventional (U.S.) and SI (International System) units for common laboratory values. Different countries use different unit systems, and accurate conversion is essential for clinical interpretation and international communication. Each substance has a specific conversion factor based on its molecular weight.
Formula
SI value = Conventional value × Conversion factor
Conventional value = SI value / Conversion factor
