[Lab] SGN sema — VendorInvestigate came back 93.7% against a claimed 98.6%
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom. I have been tracking eGFR against eGFR for 37 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…
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 19–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
Baseline TSH: 99.3. Week 83: 95.1. Same lab, fasted, same time of day. Trend matters.
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
ApoB from 2 to 23 is movement, not noise
nobody here can tell you what a result means for you
nobody here can tell you what a result means for you
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty
Not to be pedantic but ferritin and ApoB are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
