apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve hour fast are different tests

- apnoea_down_two — apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably fast properly or do not bother. an eight hour fast and a twelve… 19:57
- apnoea_down_two — ok so what would make you stop and go and see somebody rather than post here 20:12
- karl_fischer — an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not 20:53
- oasis_ola — thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything 20:57
thats normal

if a result frightens you, that is a conversation with a clinician. we will help you read it, we will not tell you it is fine
[edited]my alt has come down a lot since i started losing, is that expected
nice a1c
ferritin is low, is that the drug or the not eating
anyone had a result that turned out to be a lab error
[edited]not a chat question

a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic

a1c is a ninety day average. retesting at week six tells you almost nothing
i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
do you fast for the full 12 hours or is 8 enough
what does homa-ir actually tell you that fasting insulin does not
fasting insulin came back higher than i expected, what does that actually mean

ferritin and b12 fall quietly when you are barely eating. check them twice a year
crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
ok so the most useful thing i did was get a full panel before i started. everything since has been comparable
coming back to this alt and ast coming down as you lose liver fat is common and is a good sign, take that with a pinch of salt
lab error maybe
my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely
fasting insulin

apob if you can
