the lower limits of normal based on reference sample groups. In women of childbearing age, using a cutoff of 10–15 g/l yields a sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 98% [19] . A cutoff of 30 g/l yields a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 98% [18] . The reference laboratory cited in this study uses 10  g/l as lower limit of normal for menstruating women, and 30  g/l for children, men an...
