Hmmm... you're unlikely to be pregnant or on birthcontrol, since you're a dude. So perhaps iron deficiency?

Quote:
A high TIBC or transferrin usually indicates iron deficiency, but it is also increased in pregnancy and with use of oral contraceptives. A low TIBC or transferrin may occur if you have hemochromatosis, certain types of anemia in which iron accumulates, malnutrition, inflammation, liver disease, or nephrotic syndrome (a kidney disease that causes loss of protein in urine).
