Abstract
Using the method of Chong and Owen (1967), the normal range of methaemalbumin in plasma was 0 to 0·6 mg/100 ml, expressed as milligrams of haematin per cent. Previous results, using the method of Shinowara and Walters (1963), reported a normal range of 0 to 8·0 mg/100 ml, but it was expressed as milligrams of haemoglobin percent. The conversion factor from the Shinowara method is as follows: mg haematin % = mg haemoglobin % × 0·04.
