bloodwork — my 22-week log, condensed into one table

Discussion Long Haul ×3

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking bloodwork against eGFR for 27 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

My ALT went from 9 to 12 in 29 weeks. The eGFR story shows up in the trend, not the single number.

Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

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

My ALT went from 2 to 24 in 79 weeks. The ALT story shows up in the trend, not the single number.

Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

I am going to push back on this slightly.

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.
