What causes high Lipoprotein a and low TIBC?

High Lipoprotein a and low TIBC can be caused by many reasons.

If your Lipoprotein a is in between 1 mg/dl and 30 mg/dl 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 Lipoprotein a and TIBC respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

The level of Lp(a) is determined by your genes. Some other examples of conditions that increase Lipoprotein a levels include:

• Low estrogen levels
• Nephrotic syndrome.
• Chronic kidney disease
• Diabetes
• Severe underactive thyroid

Normal range of Lipoprotein a : 1 - 30 mg/dl

High Lipoprotein a and low TIBC can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take Lipoprotein a and TIBC blood tests and the results are higher than 30 mg/dl for Lipoprotein a and lower than 250 mcg/dL for TIBC, 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.
