How do you convert cholesterol units?
Conversion for TC (total cholesterol), HDL (high density lipoprotein) and LDL (low density lipoprotein)* † : To get from SI units (mmol/L) to mg/dL multiply by 38.67. To get from mg/dL to SI (in mmol/L) multiply by 0.02586.
What is the conversion factor for cholesterol?
Conversion factors of Conventional units to SI units
| Parameter | Conventional unit | Conversion factor |
|---|---|---|
| Cholesterol (total, HDL-C, LDL-C) | mg/dl | 0.0259 |
| Creatinine (serum, plasma) | mg/dl | 88.4 |
| Triglycerides (serum) | mg/dl | 0.0113 |
How is cholesterol ratio calculated?
To calculate your cholesterol ratio, divide your total cholesterol number by your HDL cholesterol number. So if your total cholesterol is 200 mg/dL (5.2 mmol/L) and your HDL is 50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L), your ratio would be 4-to-1. Higher ratios mean a higher risk of heart disease.

How to calculate cholesterol ratio calculator?
– LDL HDL ratio – LDL level divided by HDL level; – Triglyceride HDL ratio – Triglycerides level divided by HDL level; and – Total cholesterol HDL ratio – Total cholesterol (TC) divided by HDL level.
What is a good ratio of HDL to LDL?
– The patient has elevated TG levels (216 mg/dL), a low HDL cholesterol level (34 mg/dL), and a high LDL cholesterol level (139 mg/dL). – There was a decrease in the size of HDLs. Normally, the HDL curve should be a smooth bell curve peaking where the red circle is drawn. – There was also a decrease in the size of LDLs.
What is the normal range for Chol HDL ratio?
Your total cholesterol is above 200 mg/dL
