What causes high TIBC and low Albumin Globulin ratio?

High TIBC and low Albumin Globulin ratio can be caused by many reasons.

If your TIBC is in between 250 mcg/dL and 450 mcg/dL and your Albumin Globulin ratio is in between 1 Ratio and 2.1 Ratio then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for TIBC and Albumin Globulin ratio respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.
