Albumin: units, conversion and tracking
Updated
Short answer
Albumin is reported in g/dL and g/L. 1 g/L = 0.1 g/dL.
Convert albumin
Enter a value to see the converted result.
Converts units only and does not interpret a result. For other markers, use the full unit converter.
What is albumin?
The most abundant protein in blood plasma, made by the liver.
BiomarkerHQ groups albumin under Liver. On lab reports it can also appear as albumin serum and serum albumin.
Albumin units and conversion
BiomarkerHQ stores each albumin result in the unit printed on the report, and charts and compares results in g/dL.
1 g/L = 0.1 g/dL
1 g/dL = 10 g/L
| g/L | g/dL |
|---|---|
| 30 g/L | 3 g/dL |
| 35 g/L | 3.5 g/dL |
| 40 g/L | 4 g/dL |
| 45 g/L | 4.5 g/dL |
| 50 g/L | 5 g/dL |
| 55 g/L | 5.5 g/dL |
| 60 g/L | 6 g/dL |
| g/dL | g/L |
|---|---|
| 3 g/dL | 30 g/L |
| 3.5 g/dL | 35 g/L |
| 4 g/dL | 40 g/L |
| 4.5 g/dL | 45 g/L |
| 5 g/dL | 50 g/L |
| 5.5 g/dL | 55 g/L |
| 6 g/dL | 60 g/L |
For another value, use the lab unit converter. It converts units only and does not interpret a result.
Tracking albumin over time
In BiomarkerHQ, each albumin result is saved with its collection date, its unit and the reference range printed on that report. The timeline charts the results across your draws against the range from each of your own reports, and any two draws can be compared side by side.
- Keep the unit printed on each report. Convert only to compare.
- Keep each report's own range with its result. See why ranges differ between labs.
- Compare the same lab and conditions where you can. See how to compare two blood tests.
Frequently asked questions
Which units do labs report albumin in?
Albumin is reported in g/dL and g/L. BiomarkerHQ stores each result in the unit printed on the report and uses g/dL for charts and comparisons.
How do I convert albumin from g/L to g/dL?
1 g/L = 0.1 g/dL. For example, 45 g/L is 4.5 g/dL.
How do I convert albumin from g/dL to g/L?
1 g/dL = 10 g/L. For example, 4.5 g/dL is 45 g/L.
Does BiomarkerHQ interpret my albumin result?
No. It compares a result only with the reference range printed on your own lab report, as below, within or above, and does not say what the result means. Talk to a qualified clinician about your results.
