What does high TIBC and Packed cell volume mean in blood test?

High TIBC and Packed cell volume can be caused by numerous problems.

If your blood TIBC level is between 250 mcg/dL to 450 mcg/dL and the Packed cell volume level is between 41 mcg/dL to 49.5 %, then your body does not have any underlying health problems. But if TIBC and Packed cell volume levels exceed these levels, you should see a doctor immediately.
