Physiological Reference Ranges

The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.

Adults (general)

25 – 70 mg/L

Adult females

25 – 60 mg/L

Adult males

35 – 70 mg/L

Common alternative units:

µmol/L(×0.168 mg/L)

mg/dL(×10 mg/L)

A low level is completely harmless and frequently seen with plant-based diets or specific medications.

A moderate elevation often stems from rich meals, beer or sugary beverage intake, or suboptimal hydration.

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

Could modest dietary tweaks (moderating sweetened drinks or rich foods) normalize this value?
Does this level pose any concern for joint comfort?
Should we recheck this routinely in 6 months?
