How does this tool work?
Labs use two common units for blood values: the conventional unit (such as mg/dL) and the SI unit (such as mmol/L). Each analyte has a fixed conversion factor between the two units, and this tool applies it for you instantly.
Note that creatinine is expressed in SI units as µmol/L, not mmol/L. The result here is a numeric conversion only, while interpreting the value itself remains your doctor's task within your situation and your lab's reference range.
Frequently asked questions
Why do the units on my results differ from others?
Because some labs use SI units (mmol/L) and others use conventional units (mg/dL). The value itself does not change, only how it is expressed, and this tool helps you compare between them.
Does converting change how the result is interpreted?
No. Converting changes only the unit, not the actual value. Whether a result is normal or high depends on the lab's reference range and your doctor's interpretation.
Which analytes can I convert here?
The tool supports glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, and urea. For other tests, ask your doctor or lab.
