Site-Specific Factor 7
Total Bilirubin Unit of Measure
Notes
**Note 1:** There are two main methods of describing concentrations: by weight, and by molecular count. Weights are recorded in grams, and molecular counts are recorded in moles. Milligrams/deciliter (mg/dl) is the unit of measure commonly used in the United States. Micromoles/liter (umol/l) is the designated Systeme International (SI) unit of measure commonly used in Canada and Europe. **Note 2:** If the test was done but the total bilirubin unit of measure is not stated, code 997. **Note 3:** The same laboratory test should be used to record information in **Site-Specific Factor 6, Total Bilirubin Value** and **Site Specific Factor 7, Total Bilirubin Unit of Measure**.Default
