I think I may be getting my units messed up. Everything I'm reading seems to be using different measuring units: U/L vs. IU/L vs. mIU/ml.... ugh. is 10 U/L = 1000 mIU/ml?

Hi KrCmommy522, thanks so much for your response. I understand that anything above 10 mIU/ml indicates immunity, but I'm just trying to understand the huge varying ranges already within the bounds of immunity. I am wondering if the higher numbers (~10,000 - 50,000+ mIU/ml), perhaps, have a longer immunity, versus the lower numbers (~50 mIU/ml - 500 mIU/ml). any thoughts?

Hey guys, I'm trying to understand more about Hep B serologies. for HBsAb, in general, does it mean that the higher the number (above 10 mIU/ml), the greater the immunity? for example, does a number in 30,000 mIU/ml range have stronger immunity than a number in the 100's mIU/ml? and how high can these numbers actually get? any feedback appreciated. Thanks!

Okay thank you. That's right the I&O is not the same.

Hi all, I am working on some math problems and just want to double-check some calculations that I think are right, but not 100% sure... does (drug X) 0.5 ml PO bid available in 150 mg / 1 ml equivalent to: 1 ml PO bid available in 150 mg / 2 ml I think this is right, but I am not sure. Essentially just the solution is increased but the concentration still stays the same because the size of the dose is also increased. In other words, the first scenario each dose is equivalent to 75 mg per 0.5 ml, and in the second scenario there is also 75 mg, but in a solution of 1 ml.
