How do I interpret a cystatin C trend across three draws?

Asked 17 Jun 2024Modified 2.1 years agoViewed 15k times

I have three data points across nine months, which I hope is enough to see a trend.

I want to understand what this actually establishes, as opposed to what it is being used to imply.

My concern is that I am being invited to draw a conclusion the data does not support.

What does this actually establish, and what does it not?
