Hemoglobin: g/dL to g/L

US and German labs usually print hemoglobin in g/dL, labs in the UK and much of Europe in g/L. Dutch labs print it in mmol/L: 1 g/dL is 0.6206 mmol/L. To convert, multiply g/dL by 10; to go back, divide g/L by 10.

Value

g/dL

Same value in135g/L

g/L = g/dL × 10

This converter changes units only. It doesn’t tell you whether a number is in or out of any range: that depends on the range printed by your own lab, and on your doctor. Soma does not diagnose and is not medical advice.

The formula

g/dL → g/L: g/L = g/dL × 10
g/L → g/dL: g/dL = g/L ÷ 10
Where 10 comes from: Both units count the weight of hemoglobin in a volume of blood; only the volume differs. A litre is ten decilitres, so 1 g/dL is 10 g/L.

Questions

How do I convert hemoglobin from g/dL to g/L?

Multiply g/dL by 10. For example, 13.5 g/dL is 135 g/L.

How do I convert hemoglobin from g/L to g/dL?

Divide g/L by 10. For example, 130 g/L is 13 g/dL.

Why is the factor 10?

Because a litre is ten decilitres. Both units count the same weight; g/L counts it in a volume ten times larger than g/dL, so its number is ten times larger.
