Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 LOL! Over here, we have the opposite problem. We find that most of the serum creatinine numbers we read about are expressed in American terms! Go to this web site for a conversion calculator. http://nephron.com/cgi-bin/SI.cgi Here's how it works: If the serum creatinine is expressed in hundreds, like 140, 200, etc., that is umol/L and that's the international way. At the top of the form, where you " Input Data " , check SI/L if converting from international to U.S. If converting from U.S. (like 2.1 mg/dl) to international, check " mg/dl " . Then, put in the number you want to convert in the " Input Data " box, and click on " Submit Query " . Now, read down the left side of the table, down to " Creatinine " , and then follow that row all the way to the right, and read the number the calculator gives under mg/dl (which is U.S.), or SI (which means Système International), whichever is appropriate. Sounds more complicated than it is. Pierre Creatinine conversion > Pierre et al, My husband and I are trying to understand the serum creatine > numbers, but most are in European terms.
