TERMINOLOGY:
UNITS:
Gram:common measurement of weight. Used in this table: pg (picograms), g (grams), mg(milligrams), etc. per liter
micrometer (µm) : a unit of length. Mean Corpuscular Volume is expressedin cubic micrometers
mole: also “gram molecular weight,” a quantity based on the atomicweight of the substance. Many test results in the System Internationale areexpressed as the number of moles per liter. In US units, these measurements areusually in grams per liter. Used in this table: mmol (millimoles), µmol,(micromoles), nmol (nanomoles), pmol (picomoles) per liter
Some units of measurement include the following fractions and multipliers:
mega (M) : 10 6 or x1,000,000
kilo (k) : 10 3 or x1,000
deca or deka : 10 1 or x10
deci (d) : 10 -1 or ÷10
milli (m) : 10 -3 or ÷1,000
micro (µ) : 10 -6 or ÷1,000,000
nano (n) : 10 -9 or ÷1,000,000,000
pico (p) : 10 -12or ÷1,000,000,000,000
