Many lab reports use different unit systems (mg/dL, mmol/L, µmol/L, etc.). Doctors may use either system, so sometimes you need to convert them yourself.

How to Convert Blood Test Units Using Your Mobile Calculator

Lab reports often give results in different units depending on the lab. For example, blood sugar may be shown in mg/dL in one report and in mmol/L in another. Doctors may also use different units depending on guidelines.
You don’t need online tools—you can do all conversions with your mobile calculator.

Blood Sugar (Glucose) – 18

Common units: mg/dL ↔ mmol/L

Conversion factor = 18

👉 Example: 126 mg/dL ÷ 18 = 7.0 mmol/L

👉 Example: 7.0 mmol/L x 18 = 126 mg/dL

Cholesterol – 38.67

Common units: mg/dL ↔ mmol/L

Conversion factor = 38.67

👉 Example: Cholesterol 200 mg/dL ÷ 38.67 = 5.2 mmol/L

👉 Example: Cholesterol 5.2 mmol/L x 38.67 = 200 mg/dL

Triglycerides – 88.57

Conversion factor = 88.57

👉 Example: Triglycerides 263 mg/dL ÷ 88.57 = 2.97 mmol/L

👉 Example: Triglycerides 2.97 mmol/L x 88.57 = 263 mg/dL

Creatinine – 88.4

Units: mg/dL ↔ µmol/L

Conversion factor = 88.4

Urea – 2.14

Units: mg/dL ↔ mmol/L

Conversion factor = 2.14

Liver Function (Bilirubin) – 17.1

Units: mg/dL ↔ µmol/L

Conversion factor = 17.1
