1 U of activity is the activity in 1 mL of plasma.

 

The normal range for plasma is 18 to 40 mg/dL (0.18 to 0.40 mg/mL). A typical plasma concentration is 0.24 mg/mL (will be used as definition of 1 U).

 

1 mg is equivalent to 9.52 nmol

 

1 mg/mL is equivalent to 9.52 µmol/L

 

1 µmol/L = 0.105 mg/mL
