Clinical Unit Conversions

5 pages across 5 named compounds, each giving mg/dL to mmol/L using the analyte’s own molar mass.

Clinical Unit Conversions covers 5 pages across 5 compounds. Each page is about one measured blood analyte and gives you mg/dL to mmol/L using the analyte’s own molar mass.

The molar masses are computed from the IUPAC standard atomic weights, summed over the formula, and every page prints the per-element working — how many of each atom, each atomic weight, and the running total — so the figure can be checked rather than trusted. Nothing is looked up from a secondary table.

That matters in practice because the difference between anhydrous and hydrated forms, or between a formula unit and a molecule, changes the mass you weigh out. Each page states the formula it is using, so there is no ambiguity about which compound the number belongs to.

Clinical Unit Conversions is part of Solutions & Concentration, alongside the concentration and amount-of-substance converters that use the same molar masses.
