gram per decilitre

Mass concentrationexact by definition

One gram in one decilitre, equal to 10 g/L or 10,000 mg/L. In clinical work it is the unit for the things present in quantity rather than trace — haemoglobin, serum albumin and total protein.

Watch out: A thousand times larger than mg/dL, and used in the same reports for different analytes. Haemoglobin is quoted in g/dL and glucose in mg/dL on the same page.
