I noticed that some people express their creatinin level as a figure with a decimal point e.g 10.5
I've always been told mine as a figure with out the decimal point, its generally around 220-250
Is it just a difernt way of expressing the value and is there a formulae for changing between the two different ways.
Best regards
Robert.

Creatinine US UK conversion
Different units of measurement.. Most of the world uses SI units which in this case is micromols per litre (µmol/L) (I think its micro) but the US uses milligrammes per decilitre (mg/dl).
SI units is Systeme Internationale d'Unites.
There are various conversion calculators online. eg: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=& ... tnG=Search
Hope this helps.
