Dialysis question - is it kg "long"?

Posted: Jan 31, 2014

The word I have in question is "long". Is this correct?

She was over 5 kilos above her dry weight, and not due for another dialysis session until tomorrow at which time I thought she very likely would be another 2 kilos long.

I cannot find anything anywhere that explains "long".

Thanks,

maybe it's "along." nm - wannie

my take is the term means (too much,too high, over target goal

A session of hemodialysis may typically remove 2-5 kilograms (5-10 pounds)

Our QA is known to change correct transcription to incorrect. Don't ...

I know that "dialysis-dependent" requires the hyphen if a noun follows the phrase as in, "The dialysis-dependent patient..." However, would the hyphen be appropriate in this phrase if a noun did NOT follow it as in "This is an 81-year-old woman with diabetes who is dialysis-dependent."? Would this be considered a noun + adjective, thus requiring the hyphen? ...
