What causes high LDL HDL ratio and low TIBC?

High LDL HDL ratio and low TIBC can be caused by many reasons.

If your LDL HDL ratio is in between 0.5 Ratio and 3 Ratio and your TIBC is in between 250 mcg/dL and 450 mcg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for LDL HDL ratio and TIBC respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.
