Typical Albumin Reference Ranges
Standard reference intervals for serum albumin in adults and children. Note: Reference ranges can vary slightly depending on the specific laboratory and testing methodology used. Always consult your doctor for interpretation.
| Demographic | SI Unit (g/L) | Traditional (g/dL) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adults | 35 – 50 g/L | 3.5 – 5.0 g/dL | Standard reference interval |
| Children | 40 – 59 g/L | 4.0 – 5.9 g/dL | May be slightly higher in growing children |
| Conversion Factor | 1 g/dL | 10 g/L | Multiply g/dL by 10 |
| Conversion Factor | 1 g/L | 0.1 g/dL | Divide g/L by 10 |
Albumin Unit Converter FAQ
Everything patients and medical professionals ask about albumin units and blood test conversions.
To convert albumin from grams per litre (g/L) to grams per decilitre (g/dL), simply divide the value by 10. For example, 40 g/L is equal to 4.0 g/dL.
To convert albumin from grams per decilitre (g/dL) to grams per litre (g/L), multiply the value by 10. For example, 4.0 g/dL is equal to 40 g/L.
A normal serum albumin level for adults is typically between 35 and 50 g/L (3.5 to 5.0 g/dL). Reference ranges may vary slightly depending on the specific laboratory and testing methods used.
Low albumin (hypoalbuminemia) can indicate liver disease (since the liver produces albumin), kidney disease (nephrotic syndrome, where albumin is lost in urine), malnutrition, severe inflammation, or malabsorption issues.
The difference is regional. Grams per litre (g/L) is the standard SI unit used in the UK, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe. Grams per decilitre (g/dL) is the traditional unit predominantly used in the United States.
