Cholesterol and Triglyceride Unit Conversion

This tool allows you to conveniently convert cholesterol measurements between milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and millimoles per litre (mmol/L), two common units used in various parts of the world to express blood cholesterol levels. In many countries, including the United States, cholesterol levels are usually measured in mg/dL. In contrast, countries that use the metric system, such as Canada, Australia and most European countries, commonly use mmol/L.

To convert Total cholesterol, LDL and HDL from mg/dL to mmol/L, divide the value in mg/dL by 38.67. To convert from mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply the value in mmol/L by 38.67.

To convert Triglyceride values from mg/dL to mmol/L, divide the value in mg/dL by 88.57. To convert from mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply the value in mmol/L by 88.57.
