What causes high MCH and low Lipoprotein a?

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

If your MCH is in between 27 pg and 32 pg and your Lipoprotein a is in between 1 mg/dl and 30 mg/dl then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for MCH and Lipoprotein a respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

• An overactive thyroid gland
• Complications from an infection
• An autoimmune disease
• Thalassemia, an inherited blood disorder
