Frequently asked questions

What is the formula to convert hdl cholesterol?

mmol/L = mg/dL × 0.0259. To go the other way, divide instead of multiply.

Which unit does my country use for hdl cholesterol?

The US typically reports mg/dL; most of Europe, Russia and Israel use mmol/L. Your lab prints its unit next to the value.

Does converting change what my result means?
