- To convert milligrams to milliequivalents use the formula: mEq = (mg x valence) / atomic or molecular weight.
- One thousand milliequivalents equals one equivalent.

What does Meg L mean?
milliequivalents per liter
Some medical tests report results in milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). An equivalent is the amount of a substance that will react with a certain number of hydrogen ions. A milliequivalent is one-thousandth of an equivalent. A liter measures fluid volume. It is a little bigger than a quart.
What is milliequivalent per Litre?
An equivalent is the amount of a substance that will react with a certain number of hydrogen ions. A milliequivalent is one-thousandth of an equivalent. A litre measures fluid volume.
What is milli equivalent?
Medical Definition of milliequivalent : one thousandth of an equivalent of a chemical element, radical, or compound —abbreviation mEq.
What is milliequivalent per liter?
Some medical tests report results in milliequivalents per litre (mEq/L). An equivalent is the amount of a substance that will react with a certain number of hydrogen ions. A milliequivalent is one-thousandth of an equivalent. A litre measures fluid volume.
What does me q mean?
milliequivalent. (mEq) [mil″e-e-kwiv´ah-lent] one thousandth (10−3) of a chemical equivalent (see equivalent weight). Concentrations of electrolytes are often expressed as milliequivalents per liter, which is an expression of the chemical combining power of the electrolyte in a fluid.
How do you read a mEq L?
Examples of mEq/L (Note: The molar mass of potassium, given in the periodic table, is 39.1 g/mol.) From the above equation, and with the valence of elemental potassium being 1, you have mEq = [(58.65 mg)(1)]/39.1 mg/mmol = 1.5 mEq.
