What causes high INR and low VLDL?

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

If your INR is in between 0.9 ratio and 1.2 ratio and your VLDL is in between 5 mg/dL and 30 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for INR and VLDL 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

High INR and low VLDL can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take INR and VLDL blood tests and the results are higher than 1.2 ratio for INR and lower than 5 mg/dL for VLDL, your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get these tests if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
