Question Receipts ×2 Well Actually ×3

Been lurking in c/reconstitution for about 20 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 42, 15mg, and baseline labs 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 48.

My ferritin went from 17 to 38 in 71 weeks. The eGFR story shows up in the trend, not the single number.

ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first

post reference ranges with your numbers, units differ by country and lab

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

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

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.
