three years of ApoB threads, summarised so you do not have to read them

Question Clean Column ×6 Slow Clap ×2 Cold Box ×2

Right, the lipids question again, but with numbers this time.

I have 4 data points over 28 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.

The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 32, not week 81. People give up long before the interesting part.

Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

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

My ferritin went from 17 to 40 in 82 weeks. The baseline labs story shows up in the trend, not the single number.

My ferritin went from 17 to 40 in 82 weeks.

Disagree on that part. 98.0% and 98.1% on the same vial is normal.

ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty

What are your reference ranges?

My triglycerides went from 19 to 20 in 27 weeks. The A1c story shows up in the trend, not the single number.

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

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

Same lab both times?

replysharereportpermalink
u/lipid_panel_larrybloodwork117 points·1 year ago

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 11–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

u/britt_marchand70 points·1 year ago
yep. 15 weeks in, same.

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

This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.

u/no_refunds_nr5 points·1 year ago

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

ApoB from 3 to 32 is movement, not noise

eGFR from 14 to 5 is movement, not noise

ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first

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.
