A measure of concentration - the number of millimoles (mmols) of a substance in one litre (L) of a fluid. A millimole is the molecular weight (or atomic weight) in milligrams (mg). In the UK, cholesterol levels are expressed as millimoles of cholesterol in one litre of serum. In the USA, they measure mg/dL - milligrams per decilitre (one-tenth of a litre). To convert a cholesterol measurement in mmol/L to mg/dL you multiply by 39. A cholesterol level of 5.2 mmol/L is just over 200mg/dL.
Millimoles per liter, a unit of measure that shows the concentrations of a substance in a specific amount of fluid. This unit is used in veterinary and medical journals and a number of countries to report blood glucose test results. In other countries, mg/dl or g/l are used. To convert from mmol/l to mg/dl multiply mmol/L by 18; to convert mmol/l to g/l multiply by 0.18 . Example: 10 mmol/L = 180 mg/dL or 1.8 g/l.
is the abbreviated form of millimoles per litre, a term used to describe how much glucose is present in a specific amount of blood. To convert Canadian mmol/L to American mg/dl, multiply by 18.
Millimoles per litre of blood. It is a standard unit used in Canada to measure blood cholesterol. Back
milliMol per Litre - measurement of blood glucose in Australia & Europe (for definition of a Mol and milliMol see your Year 11 Chemistry teacher!).
The standard way to measure blood glucose in Canada. Mmol/L means millimole per litre, which is one thousandth of a mole of glucose per liter of blood.
Millimoles per litre. A common unit for measuring blood glucose levels. See also mg/dL
millimoles per liter, a unit of measure that shows the concentration of a substance in a specific amount of fluid. In most of the world, except for the United States, blood glucose test results are reported as mmol/L. In the United States, milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is used. To convert to mmol/L from mg/dL, divide mg/dL by 18. Example: 180 mg/dL รท 18 = 10 mmol/L.
