Creatinine Unit Converter
The Creatinine Unit Converter switches a reading between common units. µmol/L ÷ 88.4 gives mg/dL. UK letters usually show µmol/L. Units only. It does not say whether the number is healthy. Take the original printout to your GP if you need it interpreted.

Common questions
What is the creatinine unit converter?
Unit maths only. Same quantity, different label.
Which unit does the NHS use?
UK lab letters often use SI units. Keep the original unit on the printout as well as the conversion.
Can I treat the converted number as a target?
No. Conversion does not change meaning. Ask the clinician who ordered the test.
Example scenarios

Trevor, units on the printout

Understanding your results
If the two units disagree with the letter, trust the letter. Rounding to one decimal is enough for home use.
