Units used to measure Vitamin D

For some reason two different units are used in parallel to describe 25(OH)-Vitamin-D blood concentration, namely Nanogramm per Milliliter [ng/ml] and Nanomol per Liter [nMol/l]. As a result there is some likelyhood of confusion when comparing  different diagnostic test results or reading scientific literature. Allways check the units, when comparing  lab results or Vitamin D related lectures, publications, guidelines or recommendations.

However, the  two units Nanogramm per Milliliter [ng/ml] and Nanomol per Liter [nMol/l] can be easily converted by either multiplying or dividing with the factor 2.5 (1 ng/ml = 2.5 nMol/l).
