Cholesterol Unit Converter

About Cholesterol Unit Conversion

Cholesterol levels are typically measured in either milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L). This converter allows you to easily switch between these two units for various types of cholesterol measurements:

  • Total Serum Cholesterol
  • HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol
  • LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol
  • Serum Triglycerides

Understanding your cholesterol levels in both units can be helpful when comparing results from different countries or medical systems.

Conversion Factors

To convert between mg/dL and mmol/L, use these factors:

  • For Cholesterol (Total, HDL, LDL): 1 mmol/L = 38.67 mg/dL
  • For Triglycerides: 1 mmol/L = 88.57 mg/dL

Remember, these conversions are approximate due to rounding.
