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.

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)
