I am in a new state, new health insurance, and have my second of ongoing maintenance tests in this new health system. The first test used mcU/ml the second test here on the same thing reported in uIU/ml, I cannot decipher on the internet. Here are the names, do they mean the same thing? mcU/ml uIU/ml Thanks!
Google search, not sure if it helps.... microUnit/milliliter-mcU/mL uIU/ml- IU stands for International Unit and is simply a way to "measure stuff", particularly the biological activity of a substance/chemical/hormone. IU is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internation... The "u" is actually meant to be "µ" (the Greek letter "mu"). When used in the context of SI units, "µ" represents one-millionth, or 10 to the power -6: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(letter)... In other words, 1 µIU = 0.001 mIU = 0.000001 IU
Gooder of you fox9988 for the aided research, but would your Doc not offer in depth explanation? I have enjoyed the efforts of co-searching from forum buds, so no offense, fox- just thinking your situation (wildwest) should be backed up by the office you're paying to attend to this... I like how we all jump in to fill the gaps
Totally understand eric, but things in Wyoming move MUCH slower than other states. MUCH slower..........I don't have the patience to wait 2 weeks! And I am well schooled in this particular test since 2010
I see. Well, I hope fox9988's search was REALLY helpful, 'cos I got nothin'! I'm no good at conversions, except milli ohms to ohms....
Agreed. Just trying to be helpful but the people getting rich off you/us should be consulted. Just because you read it on the internet..........
