Title: Is there a Kilo to pounds conversion chart??
Post by: WBMW on December 11, 2007, 07:43:20 AM

Mom is weighed by kilos and I'm just wondering how to convert them.
She also today got a copy of all her numbers so I want to know the good and the bad. 
She was told her protein is low.

My nephs and nurses just multiply kilos by 2.2 and get the pounds.

Most of the scales used in dialysis units and nephrologists offices are switchable so you could just flip the switch and see it either way.  Most lab results are printed with normal ranges including the low and high limits.  If hers weren't have her ask her provider if they can do that with the next set.
