genuine question about ALT that I am slightly embarrassed to ask

Question

Been lurking in c/intlshipping for about 19 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 51, 0.25mg, and ALT is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 35 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 45.

triglycerides from 12 to 11 is movement, not noise

HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with ferritin, not with what you concluded.

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

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

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