What causes high INR and low Triglycerides?

High INR and low Triglycerides can be caused by many reasons.

If your INR is in between 0.9 ratio and 1.2 ratio and your Triglycerides is in between 40 mg/dL and 150 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for INR and Triglycerides respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease INR levels include:

• Liver disease
• Vitamin K abnormality
• Decreased or defective factor I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V or X
• Hemophilia A and hemophilia B
• Autoantibody against a specific factor (e.g., factor VIII)

Normal range of INR : 0.9 - 1.2 ratio
