SI Units of Medical Laboratory
Unit:
The S.I unit is derived
from “system international d’’ According to recommendation of WHO , S .I units
are used in the laboratory in following ways:
·
In test methods.
·

reagent.
·
Reporting of test
result
The
international system of units has been developed and agreed internationally. It
overcomes language berried , enabling an exchange of health information within a country and between nation to unmade
the misunderstanding . It is therefore important for health authorities to adopts
S,I unit as far as possible.
The international system of units based on the
mete-kilogram- second system and replaces both the foot –pound –second (FPS)
system and the centimeter-gram=second (CGS) system .The following units are
called S.I base unit because all other S.I units are derived from these units.
