If they differ by a factor of 100 they could be comparable. It is like expressing a distance measurement in metres or centimetres - 1 metre is the same as 100 centimetres.
In the report, my vitamin D is 56 which is pretty consistent with what my blood work always shows, so it wouldn’t appear they are using a different measurement unit. It just seems odd that I have blood tests of 1900 without supplements and then the urine test comes back at 12. The report concluded that I’m of course deficient, but only mentions the number once. It would seem to me like it must be a mistake.
