[Discussion] we are measuring bloodwork at the wrong time and calling it noise

Discussionbranch of 11 comments

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom. I have been tracking bloodwork against eGFR for 5 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,…

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.
