Whats my actual RT3 ratio?

[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

I previously posted my FT3 as 5.31 (2.8 - 6.5) and my RT3 as 0.57 (0.14-0.54),

and I calculated the ratio as:

FT3/RT3 = 5.31/0.57 = 9.3

But I've just realised that the units quoted are different (Its Genova dx

Europe). The FT3 is given as pmol/Litre, where as the RT3 is pmol/millilitre. So

the actual physical ratio in the blood is:

5.31 / 570 = 0.009

Which is the correct ratio?? Is it 9 or 0.009?

Many thanks,

garcia.
