switched from 2.5mg to 2.4mg and the reflux got better, not worse

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/meta repeats that ALT is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 21 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

u/valeria_karlsen216 points·1 year ago

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

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

triglycerides from 24 to 12 is movement, not noise

eGFR noise during rapid loss is expected

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

I am going to push back on this slightly.

A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

u/peptidemeter_pat126 points·1 year ago

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

u/thyroid_tangent113 points·1 year ago

This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.

u/micro_bump_mick57 points·1 year ago

Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

u/bac_water_banditreconstitution27 points·1 year ago

Not to be pedantic but eGFR and baseline labs are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

redact identifying details from lab PDFs before posting

replysharereportpermalink
u/elise_grimaldi33 points·1 year ago

Slight fix: the number was 99.2, not 99.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

u/blank_injection10 points·1 year ago

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

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.
