Abstract
This compilation of the normal laboratory values used for the Case Records of the Massachusetts General Hospital is presented to familiarize physicians with data in SI units. The data previously published (N Engl J Med 290:39–49, 1974) are compared in traditional and SI units. The increasing acceptance of the SI internationally means that SI units are already used in several foreign publications. It is probable that SI units will also be used, either alone, or in conjunction with traditional units, in some American publications in the near future.The SI, as applied to clinical laboratory data, is still evolving, and . . .Keywords
