Looking on the PMIP support unit website - some variation depending on gender and age group but between 12 and 26% of labs report PTH as ng/L rather than pmol/L.

I think you misunderstood me Clodagh. It would be much easier for the
registry if all results were returned as pmol/L, would save the registry
having to convert.

It should not be too difficult for the Renal Registry to change their
units so that the move is all towards pmol/L. Copying in the current
chair.

Subject: PTH reporting units
The Renal Registry audits the PTH data in pmol/L. Renal Units report to
the registry in both pmol/L and ng/L - the latter are converted on
receipt. Much better if we all harmonised. Just takes time to ensure all
parties are aware and have time to modify their protocols.

Subject: PTH reporting units
We are looking to change our PTH reporting units to pmol/L in line with
Pathology Harmony. There has been some concerns raised by the renal
physicians with regards the impact it will have on renal
networks/viewing cumulative results.
Could I just check how many labs across the country are using pmol/L,
particularly those providing services to renal networks..
Many thanks
Denise
