ferritin — my 8-week log, condensed into one table

Concerning Receipts ×1 Cold Box ×2 Well Actually ×3

Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.

The advice on ApoB in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.

I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

baseline is the most important lipids measurement, you cannot collect it later

u/iman_falk269 points·2 years ago

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

replysharereportpermalink
u/gustav_cardosoOP71 points·2 years ago

Tracking number removed.

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

eGFR noise on rapid loss is real. 5 week noise, 16 week trend. Do not panic at week 79.

Crossposting this to c/reconstitution because the people who need it are not reading this community.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

ApoB from 19 to 4 is movement, not noise

Is that fasted?

ALT from 16 to 19 is movement, not noise

u/gustav_cardosoOP21 points·2 years ago

Same lab both times?

u/intent_to_treat36 points·2 years ago

What are your reference ranges?

replysharereportpermalink
u/chidi_abubakar22 points·2 years ago

Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

u/no_refunds_nr6 points·2 years ago

ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it

ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy

HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking

u/constipation_clubside effects115 points·2 years ago

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

replysharereportpermalink
u/cormac_roos32 points·2 years ago

A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty

replysharereportpermalink
u/thyroid_tangent29 points·2 years ago

This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.

About c/bloodwork

What to measure before you start, what to re-measure, and how to interpret movement without panicking. ApoB over LDL-C, HOMA-IR as a crude free tool, ALT and the fatty-liver story, eGFR noise during rapid loss, and the deficiencies that a 1,100-calorie appetite will hand you.
