[PSA] ALT is not what most of this community thinks it is
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on ApoB in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
baseline is the most important lipids measurement, you cannot collect it later
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
This is correct.
Adding to this: ALT is doing more work than the comment implies.
Same lab both times?
A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
eGFR noise on rapid loss is real. 20 week noise, 38 week trend. Do not panic at week 26.
ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy

the 2 month eGFR check is the routine
ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

the 21 month eGFR check is the routine
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

nobody here can tell you what a result means for you
