Common Reference Ranges (mg/dL)

Total Cholesterol

Desirable: below 200 mg/dL (about 5.2 mmol/L). Borderline high: 200-239.

LDL Cholesterol

Optimal: below 100 mg/dL (about 2.6 mmol/L) for most adults.

HDL Cholesterol

Protective: 60 mg/dL (about 1.6 mmol/L) or higher. Low: below 40.

Triglycerides

Normal: below 150 mg/dL (about 1.7 mmol/L). Borderline high: 150-199.

Reference ranges vary by lab and guideline. This tool performs unit conversion only and is not medical advice — always follow your healthcare professional.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

What is the formula between mmol/L and mg/dL for cholesterol?
For Total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL: mg/dL = mmol/L × 38.67, and mmol/L = mg/dL ÷ 38.67. The factor comes from the molar mass of cholesterol (386.65 g/mol).
Why do triglycerides use a different factor?
Triglycerides have a different molar mass (about 885.7 g/mol when reported as triolein), so mg/dL = mmol/L × 88.57. Using 38.67 for triglycerides is a common and serious mistake.
Which countries report in mmol/L?
The US reports lipids in mg/dL, while most of Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand report in mmol/L. Ireland switched to mmol/L in 2007-2008.
Can I convert HDL and LDL with this tool?
Yes. Total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL all use the same 38.67 factor. Simply keep the metric on "Cholesterol" and enter each value.
Does a converted number change my diagnosis?
No. Conversion only changes the unit, not the underlying value. Diagnosis and targets must be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional.
