Sitaruîm's Lab Log

Hi all,

I went to the endocrinologist for the first time today in order to request lab tests. The idea is to do this at least once a year. I got my requests and will be doing the tests soon, it will be quite comprehensive.

During my visit today my body composition was measured with an instrument that uses electrical impedance and I was positively surprised. According to the test, the amount of lean body mass I have is higher than average for my weight (41 kg of lean body mass and 80.3 kg total weight). What surprised me the most is that my body fat is only 10.5% of my mass, I thought it would be closer to 15% to be honest. By the way, does anyone know how reliable this method is?

Here is a screenshot with the body composition results, and stay tuned for the blood test results!

And the results are in!
After more than a month of having my blood drawn, I finally have them. At a first glance everything looks OK, based on my own laymanish judgement. Would love everyone's input.

Some context: The night before the blood draw, I didn't sleep too well (maybe 4 hours?). I know that these biomarkers can fluctuate considerably in a short amount of time, so I'm not fretting over things not looking perfect on paper, since I feel just fine. Would love to hear what the more knowledgeable members of the forum have to say. Another important thing to note is that the saliva sample is from a different day than the blood sample.

The only thing that somewhat concerned me is the high ferritin, which is a fair amount higher than the upper limit. Anyway, here are the results:

And here's the last page, it gave me an error when I tried to attach it in the previous post:
