How to convert milligrams per deciliter to grams per liter
g/L = mg/dL × 0.01Multiply the value in milligrams per deciliter by 0.01. To go the other way, multiply by 100 (or divide by 0.01).
A milligram per deciliter is smaller than a gram per liter: it takes 100 milligrams per deciliter to make one gram per liter.
Worked examples
- 1 milligram per deciliter1 mg/dL × 0.01 = 0.01 g/L
