what would you tell week-1 you about ApoB
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
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.

This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
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.
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
Do you have baseline to compare to?
A1c moves slowly, quarterly is plenty
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with ferritin, not with what you concluded.
eGFR noise during rapid loss is expected
ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
the 18 month eGFR check is the routine
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
What are your reference ranges?
