This skill covers:

• Unit Conversion: Converting between US conventional and SI units
• Format Standardization: Handling scientific notation, decimal formats, whitespace
• Data Quality Assessment: Identifying and quantifying data issues
• CKD-Specific Labs: Complete reference for chronic kidney disease-related lab features
