Bilirubin Converter (mg/dL ↔ µmol/L)
Convert bilirubin between mg/dL and µmol/L — the jaundice number, in both lab dialects.
Multiply mg/dL by 17.1 for µmol/L. Anchors: 1.0 mg/dL = 17 µmol/L, jaundice becomes visible around 2–3 mg/dL (~35–50 µmol/L). Newborn bilirubin uses these same units but entirely different thresholds and nomograms — never apply adult cut-offs to a baby; that's strictly the paediatric team's chart.
