anyone else notice baseline labs kicking in around week 7
anyone else notice baseline labs kicking in around week 7. This is a description of what happened to me and not a plan for anybody else. Why so many single values look alarming and turn out to be nothing. A reference interval is built to contain about 95% of a healthy reference population, so one test in twenty falls…
Did anything else change in that window — training, intake, hydration?

Correction: that marker is reported in different units by different labs, which explains the tenfold difference you are seeing.
Agreed on assay changes. A lab switching platforms between your draws is invisible unless you ask.
That is a non-fasting value and the interval you are comparing it against is a fasting one.
weight loss itself moves several of these independently
I would not draw a line through two points, especially when the second was taken at a different time of day.
a single triglycerides outside range is a reason to repeat, not to panic
Have you taken this to whoever ordered it?

Adding the obvious one — take it to whoever ordered the panel. This board cannot read it for you.
Small fix — a reference interval is not a treatment target, and the post above uses them interchangeably.
Cosigning on baseline. The panel I regret most is the one I did not take before starting.
