what would you tell week-1 you about baseline labs

Concerning Long Haul ×8 Slow Clap ×1 Well Actually ×1

Been lurking in c/intlshipping for about 6 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 92, 1.0mg, and ALT is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 19 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 86.

Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 95.1% on the same vial is normal.

ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy

Adding to this: ApoB is doing more work than the comment implies.

Do you have baseline to compare to?

Disagree on that part. 98.6% and 98.7% on the same vial is normal.

HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.
