Triglycerides Calculator

Conversion for TG (triglycerides) is calculated differently:

• To get from mmol/L to mg/dL multiply by 88.57.
• To get from mg/dL to mmol/L multiply by 0.01129.

The American System: mg/dL

• The American system generally uses mass per unit volume (milligrams per deciliter of blood). By considering the weight of a substance in the blood, it is less accurate.
• The term "mg/dL" then is the abbreviation for milligrams (mg) per deciliter (dL) and describes how much lipid is present in a specific amount of blood.

The SI System: mmol/L

• The SI system (Système International) - in Canada, Australia, Europe, and other countries - uses moles per unit volume (millimoles per liter of blood). 
• By considering the number of molecules of a substance in the blood, it is more accurate then.
• The term "mmol/L" is the abbreviation for millimoles (mmol) per liter/liter (L) and describes how much lipid is present in a specific amount of blood.
