Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion.

That is right for the common case. Whether it is right for the case being asked about depends on a detail that has not been given.

True, and anyone with reduced kidney function needs that target set by a clinician rather than a forum.

This answered a question I did not know how to ask.

I read this differently. The confidence in this thread is running ahead of the evidence, and I would rather the uncertainty were stated than smoothed over because it is unsatisfying.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. If you are comparing against somebody else’s result, check that you are comparing the same measurement taken the same way. Most of the apparent contradictions in these threads dissolve at that step.

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful.
