Albumin binding above 99% is the whole reason weekly dosing works, and it is also why the trough matters more than the peak.

Agreed, and the practical implication is not to over-read a single eGFR during a period of rapid loss and altered hydration. Trend, with UACR beside it.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Taking it to my next appointment.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. Take it one variable at a time. Almost every unanswerable question in these threads is unanswerable because three things changed in the same fortnight, and no amount of subsequent argument can untangle them after the fact.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. Most of what circulates confidently in this community traces back to one summary of one study, and the qualifier was dropped somewhere in the third retelling.
