Keith Thomas asked about converting cholesterol numbers. To convert into
the Americans' units, divide any cholesterol type by 0.0259, and TG by 0.0113.

 > TC   347
 > LDL 239
 > HDL 99
 > VLDL 8
 > TG 41

So using these factors they become:
TC   8.99
LDL  6.19
HDL  2.56
VLDL 0.21
TG   0.46

Also this formula is useful for American units:
TC = HDL + LDL + (TG / 5)

In mrakov's case we get:
347 = 99 + 239 + (41 / 5)
