someone explain bloodwork to me like I have not read a paper in years
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.
I have been tracking eGFR against eGFR for 3 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, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.
tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.
best — the order this archive was captured in
the 21 month eGFR check is the routine
ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty

redact identifying details from lab PDFs before posting
baseline is the most important A1c measurement, you cannot collect it later
post reference ranges with your numbers, units differ by country and lab
the 13 month baseline labs check is the routine
Strongly agree. ALT is where you catch the liver story early.
ApoB from 15 to 15 is movement, not noise

I am going to push back on this slightly.
