Picograms per millilitre (pg/mL)

Top of the page

Some medical tests report results in picograms per millilitre (pg/mL).

  • A picogram is one-trillionth of a gram. A gram is about 1/30 of an ounce.
  • A millilitre measures fluid volume equal to one-thousandth of a litre. A litre is a little bigger than a quart.
