Blood work after two months

[BLASIUS]

Hi All,

yesterday I did a new blood work update after 2 months on tirze (6 weeks on 2,5mg and 2 weeks on 5mg).

The analisys show the improvement of most of the parameters, there is only the Bilirubin level that shows an extra increase, cheching on chatgpt it seems that the root cause could be the fast weight loss.

Has some of you notices the same increase?

Hi, medical laboratory scientist who runs these tests for a living, here- The jump in dosage may have stressed your liver a bit, but it would be good to monitor other liver enzymes (ALT, AST) to confirm that. Hopefully your body adjusts and you can recompare in 2-4 weeks. Otherwise, I’d consider dropping down a dose again if there’s further elevation or you notice any worsening symptoms. Your platelet drop is within normal variation, so no worries there. Everything else looks great!

I just received the additional results for ALT/AST values, as they are in normal range, I suppose I can accept the ipothesys that the high level of Bilirubin is related to the weight loss.

Any comment?

Curious what your lipid panel looks like. My Chem 13 was amazingly good, but my lipid panel DOUBLED. Just can't figure that one out...

Yes that’s probably it! I’d still check on that bill if I were you in a couple weeks to make sure it’s not elevating further.

It should level off once you stop losing. Triglycerides and LDL especially increase during weight loss because of fat metabolism.
