What causes high WBC and low LDL HDL ratio?

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

If your WBC is in between 4 thou/uL and 11 thou/uL and your LDL HDL ratio is in between 0.5 Ratio and 3 Ratio then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for WBC and LDL HDL ratio 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 WBC levels include:

• Infections, most commonly caused by bacteria and some viruses, less commonly by fungi or parasites
• Bone marrow damage
• Overwhelming infections (e.g., sepsis)
• Inflammation or inflammatory conditions such as vasculitis or inflammatory bowel disease
• Myelodysplastic syndrome
