Creatinine Converter (mg/dL ↔ µmol/L)
Convert serum creatinine between US mg/dL and SI µmol/L using the 88.42 factor — kidney-function units.
Note the SI unit is *micro*mol/L, not mmol/L (creatinine circulates in tiny amounts). Anchors: 1.0 mg/dL = 88 µmol/L, 1.5 = 133, 2.0 = 177. The eGFR equations expect mg/dL, so feeding a µmol/L value into a US calculator without converting gives a wildly wrong kidney result — convert first.
