Some sources suggest an intestinal malabsorption or malnutrition.
Did you fast (nothing to eat or drink but water) for 12 hours prior to the test? Fasting for a longer time may skew results.
Do you use fish oils as supplement or consume a lot of fatty fish? Excessive amounts, in particular the supplement form, may be a culprit. Did you have fatty fish at the last meal before fasting, or take a fish oil supplement?
