Triglyceride Converter (mg/dL ↔ mmol/L)
Convert triglyceride results with their own 88.57 factor — the one lipid that doesn't share cholesterol's number.
Triglycerides have a higher molar mass than cholesterol, so their factor is 88.57 — using the cholesterol factor here gives a wrong answer (a classic conversion error). Anchors: 150 mg/dL = 1.7 mmol/L (normal ceiling), 200 = 2.3 (high), 500 = 5.6 (very high, pancreatitis risk). Fasting matters: a recent fatty meal inflates triglycerides far more than cholesterol.
