What can cause elevated haptoglobin?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Most anything: The reference range, as usual, is set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either end. And if there's ongoing inflammation in the body, heptoglobin tends to go up. If you feel okay, I wouldn't concern yourself.

It is not a good tes: Why did you have it done? if your blood counts(CBC) is normal, you can ignore it as irrelevant.
