How Do You Convert Mg/Dl To Mmol/Litre In Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a waxy solid that’s suspended in the blood plasma. It has several important uses in the body but excess cholesterol in the blood is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. The concentration of cholesterol in the blood is routinely measured as part of a blood test. You must ensure your cholesterol level is measured in the correct units, though, when you compare it to the desired reference range. Obtain a cholesterol value in milligrams of cholesterol per deciliter of blood (mg/dl.) A milligram is a unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a gram and a deciliter is a unit of volume equal to 1/10 of a liter. Convert mg/dl into milligrams per liter (mg/l.) A liter is 10 times more volume than a deciliter, so multiply mg/dl by 10 to get mg/l. Determine the ratio to convert milligrams of cholesterol to millimoles (mmol) of cholesterol. The ratio of milligrams to millimoles is equal to the ratio of grams to moles. You therefore need to know the mass in grams of a mole of cho
