This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
The same blood result reads completely differently depending on which country's convention printed it, and the searches are constant.
A page per pair with the factor, a converter, and the typical range shown in both units: glucose mmol/L to mg/dL, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides, HbA1c IFCC mmol/mol to DCCT per cent using the published master equation, creatinine, urea and BUN, bilirubin, ferritin, vitamin D ng/mL to nmol/L, vitamin B12, TSH and free T4, testosterone, haemoglobin g/L to g/dL, and blood pressure mmHg to kPa. Sixteen pages.
How to use it
Use The units health systems disagree on as a structured learning path: begin with the vocabulary, follow the evidence map, and keep the uncertainty labels attached to claims as you compare sources.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
Search vocabulary in four languages
Terminology changes across borders. These are example phrases people use for the same subject in Estonian, Finnish, Russian and English; they are included as a practical vocabulary aid, not as hidden keywords.
| Language | Example phrase |
|---|---|
| Estonian | kolesterool mmol/l mg/dl teisendus |
| Finnish | hba1c mmol/mol prosentiksi muunnos |
| Russian | холестерин ммоль/л в мг/дл перевод |
| English | convert vitamin d ng/ml to nmol/l |
Evidence and provenance
The evidence map below records the primary, official or openly licensed material chosen for this guide. It is deliberately visible so a reader can tell the difference between a rule published by an authority, a measured dataset and an editorial explanation.
Source: none, computed from published molar masses and the NGSP/IFCC master equation (public). · checked 2026-09-09
Source names are preserved even where an authority changes its web address. No figure is added to this launch page unless it is already present in the cited source description or can be computed from a named dataset.
Scope and boundaries
/units converts everyday measures such as kg, cm and kcal; this is the clinical set, where a single number carries different meanings in the US, the EU and the post-Soviet laboratories.
