![]() The index value greater than 1.5 was diagnosed as iron deficiency. To make the test more specific, the application of the ratio of sTfR to the log ferritin level (sTfR-F index) has been suggested. As the level of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is not influenced by ageing or chronic diseases, the assay measuring sTfR has been developed with the indication for the diagnosis of iron deficiency. It thus is required to verify whether the ferritin cutoff value could be applied to community-dwelling older adults. However, the study was performed with hospitalized anemic patients. The desirable ferritin cutoff value for the diagnosis of iron deficiency has been suggested approximately 45 μg/L for older adults, comparing to the lower concentration of 12 μg/L for young adults. This implies that the application of the cutoff point derived from younger populations to the elderly is inappropriate. Moreover, in the case of concomitant chronic disorders which are common in older adults, the serum ferritin level is increased in spite of iron deficiency. ![]() The interpretation in older adults is complicated sometimes due to the serum ferritin level increasing with age. The serum ferritin assay is the best single blood test for the diagnosis of iron deficiency. Although the confirmation of the absence of iron storage in the bone marrow aspirate sample should be the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of iron deficiency, the value of less invasive tests assessing iron storage in general populations has been well established. The diagnosis of iron deficiency is important because the proper iron therapy can improve the symptoms as well as it may indicate the occult gastrointestinal pathology such as malignancy. Two most common causes of anemia in older adults are anemia of chronic disease (ACD) and iron deficiency.

![]() And as shown in the second red square select bootloader installation device as the Main USB drive. If you have skipped step 2, you can also make partitions in this window.įirst, change the mount point of the first partition on this Main USB drive to ROOT (i.e. In my case /dev/sda are an internal hard disk of the PC and I am using /dev/sdb is USB Lubuntu Installation media from where this live session is booted.Īnd /dev/sdc is my Main USB drive where I want to install my Linux system and where I have made two partitions in step number 2. This is an Important step, here you need to find out where your Main USB drive is mounted. ![]() Here select Something Else Option (It is Mandatory) and go to next… Select Lubuntu Installation Typeħ. Select Installation Type and Third-party installation as per your choice and go to next. Select Wifi internet if you want to update Lubuntu while installation. Select Keyboard Layout and continue… Select Lubuntu Keyboard LayoutĤ. Installer welcome screen will appear, select Language there and hit Continue. Live session of Lubuntu 18.04 will look like this. First, boot Linux OS ( Lubuntu 18.04) from your bootable installation media and launch installation application from a live session. Now take a deep breath because it’s time to go for Linux installation section. Once you have created required partitions on the Main USB drive. This step you can do while installing Linux also, but it will be very complex while installing Operating Systems like Arch Linux. So my 16 GB USB drive is converted to 11GB drive for normal use on any PC. I am having 16GB USB drive and I have created one root partition of 5GB and using rest 11GB as normal FAT partition.
