Maternal homocysteine values

Homocysteine is an item of blood test, the normal range is 5-15μmol/L. Women may take folic acid in early pregnancy, which can combine with cysteine, causing low indicators. This situation generally has no clinical significance, and does not require special treatment.

If homocysteine>15μmol/L in pregnant women, it may be caused by lack of nutrients such as vitamin B6 and folic acid in the body, or may be related to H-type hypertension, hypothyroidism and other diseases. Trace element detection, blood pressure measurement, and thyroid function five tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
