comment on help me understand ferritin, I have read the wiki twice in c/bloodwork · 577 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
comment on the baseline labs thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/bloodwork · 136 points · 2 years ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on integration — 21 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/hplc · 1 points · 2 years ago
Ran the same vial on two columns, different purity, both right, different separation. Method matters more than equipment.
comment on stalled for 13 weeks at 2.4mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 82 points · 2 years ago
Retitled to remove editorialising.
Adding to this: ALT is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on switched from 10mg to 0.25mg and the constipation got better, not worse in c/insurancefights · 25 points · 2 years ago
Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Regain on a taper is expected.
Adding to this: dose stretching is doing more work than the comment implies.

weight moves within 19kg and that is normal
comment on denial: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/insurancefights · 225 points · 2 years ago
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking
comment on week 56 check-in — 22kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 2 years ago
ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
comment on [Results] 87 weeks, 36kg, and purity was the hard part in c/hplc · 25 points · 2 years ago
axis labels included, always
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on does eGFR actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/bloodwork · 114 points · 2 years ago
A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty
