Converted Value
Medical lab results use different units in different countries. The two main systems are:
- mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) — used in the USA, Germany, Japan, India, and others
- mmol/L (millimoles per liter) — used in the UK, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe
Conversion factors by substance:
| Substance | mg/dL to mmol/L | mmol/L to mg/dL |
|---|---|---|
| Glucose | ÷ 18.018 | × 18.018 |
| Total Cholesterol | ÷ 38.67 | × 38.67 |
| HDL Cholesterol | ÷ 38.67 | × 38.67 |
| LDL Cholesterol | ÷ 38.67 | × 38.67 |
| Triglycerides | ÷ 88.57 | × 88.57 |
| Creatinine | ÷ 88.42 | × 88.42 |
| Uric Acid | ÷ 59.48 | × 59.48 |
