How this urea conversion is calculated
General formula: mmol/L × 6 = mg/dL
- 1. Start with the value in mmol/L: 6.
- 2. Multiply by the analyte-specific factor: 6 × 6.
- 3. Result in mg/dL: ≈ 16.799999999999997.

Tips and important notes for urea
- Urea is produced when the body breaks down protein and is cleared by the kidneys.
- High urea can reflect kidney impairment, dehydration, high protein intake, or bleeding in the gut.
- Different labs may report either urea or urea nitrogen; they use different conversion factors.
