Can anyone help me with these results, mrs D was kind enough to post how to convert from US to UK but a bit beyond me I'm afraid!

Magnesium: value-0.88, normal range-0.7-11, units-mmol/L

Serum Folate: value-14.0, normal range-2.4-20, units-ug/L

Vitamin B12: value-469.0, normal range-211-900, units-ng/L


Thanks in advance for any help

For folate I only have two types of concentrations:

ng/mL or nmol/L

For magnesium:

nmol/L ........or.......... mEq/L

or mEq/L

For B12 I only have these two units:

pg/mL..................or pmol/L

I really can't convert yours at all... they are not SI or conventional type

This is a chart for conversion used in US.:

But looking at the absolute magnesium numbers, you seem almost out of range in the lows.

I don't understand the other 2....sorry.

Thanks for trying mrs D, had a look at the chart but nothing seems to correspond with mine, will try to get my levels up as they do seem on the lower range of uk measurements. Also just to say know exactly how you're feeling with oreo, lost two of mine about 16 months apart both aged 14, very hard

take care
