1. What is the mmol/L to mg/dL Calculator?

Definition: This calculator converts concentrations of various substances from mmol/L (millimoles per liter) to mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) based on their molar masses.

Purpose: It assists medical professionals, researchers, and patients in converting blood biomarker levels between units commonly used in different regions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ \text{mg/dL} = \frac{\text{mmol/L} \times \text{Molar Mass (g/mol)}}{10} \]

Where:

\( \text{mmol/L} \) — Concentration in millimoles per liter
\( \text{Molar Mass} \) — Molecular weight of the substance (g/mol)
\( 10 \) — Conversion factor (since 1 dL = 100 mL)

Explanation: Select a substance, input its concentration in mmol/L, and the calculator computes the equivalent in mg/dL using the substance’s molar mass.

3. Importance of Conversion

Details: Accurate conversions are vital for interpreting lab results across countries (e.g., mmol/L in Europe vs. mg/dL in the US) and ensuring proper diagnosis and treatment.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Choose a substance from the dropdown, enter a positive value in mmol/L, and click "Calculate." The result displays in mg/dL, rounded to two decimal places or in scientific notation if less than 0.0001.
