Building a healthier future, together.
Homocysteine 19.56μmol/L is generally considered high.
Homocysteine is generally converted from methionine and is mainly obtained from food. Its normal range is 5-15μmol/L. If it does not exceed this range, it indicates that the result is normal and generally does not cause abnormal lesions and obvious discomfort symptoms. No special treatment is required. 19.56μmol/L was beyond this range, which may be related to non-pathological factors such as alcoholism, bad diet, irregular work and rest, and pathological factors such as nephropathy and psoriasis. It also suggested that the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and myocardial infarction was high, which belonged to abnormal conditions.
