comment on [Discussion] the Medutest advice in here is 8 years out of date in c/labresults · 19 points · 1 year ago
inter-lab variance is real, 8 points is inside normal
comment on [Meta] the below spec rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/labresults · 199 points · 2 years ago
below-spec results get logged, not dismissed
comment on [PSA] Janoshik is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/labresults · 20 points · 2 years ago
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 99.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on week 56 check-in — 22kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/bloodwork · 34 points · 2 years ago
ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy
comment on 9 months in and ApoB is still the thing I get wrong in c/bloodwork · 591 points · 2 years ago
Do you have baseline to compare to?
comment on stalled for 6 weeks at 2.4mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/insurancefights · 0 points · 2 years ago
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
comment on why does nobody talk about batch in c/labresults · 40 points · 2 years ago
sample of one, say so
comment on does eGFR actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/bloodwork · 29 points · 2 years ago
Not to be pedantic but ferritin and ApoB are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on lipids is the most under-discussed thing in c/dosinglogs in c/bloodwork · 122 points · 2 years ago
post reference ranges with your numbers, units differ by country and lab
Adding to this: ferritin is doing more work than the comment implies.
