update on the earlier thing a small egfr dip is often dehydration. rehydrate and retest before you panic
get a baseline
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
my b12 is borderline, supplementing or eating differently
nice a1c
i had a potassium that came back high and the repeat was normal. the tube had been knocked about
lab error maybe

nobody here is reading your bloods as a clinician. we are reading them as people who have had a lot of bloods
what should i get at baseline before i start
the FLOW result is why my nephrologist changed her position on this entirely

thyroid moving slightly is common enough that i would repeat it before doing anything
apob is the better marker and it is harder to get. i track both because i can only get one reliably
New independent result logged — ERP, lot D-0718, purity 97.4% (Medutest).
probably dehydration
my numbers: a1c and triglycerides both moved a lot, ldl barely moved at all
baseline, three months, then twice a year is what i settled on
for the archive crp is worth adding if you can, it moves in a useful direction on this
