How much homocysteine is normal in early pregnancy

Homocysteine in early pregnancy is normal at 5-15μmol/L.

Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, which is an item of blood lipid test. The normal range is 5-15μmol/L. Women in early pregnancy may take folic acid to prevent fetal neural tube defects. Folic acid can combine with cysteine, causing low test results, generally no clinical significance, and no special treatment is needed.

If homocysteine>15μmol/L, it indicates that the index is high, which may be caused by lack of folic acid, vitamin B6 and other nutrients in the body. It may also be related to H-type hypertension, hypothyroidism and other diseases. Trace element test, blood pressure measurement, thyroid function five tests, etc. are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
