Homocysteine 20.6 Is there a problem?

Homocysteine 20.6μmol/L is usually a problem depending on the specific situation.

If the patient does not maintain an empty stomach before the homocysteine test and eats more food containing methionine, a large amount of homocysteine will be produced, which will affect the test results. The homocysteine value of 20.6μmol/L is usually normal. Over time, homocysteine will be gradually excreted by the body, and there is no problem. If the patient measures homocysteine in the blood under fasting state, there is an elevated value, and there are clinical symptoms such as limb weakness, fatigue, dizziness, head swelling, etc., suggesting that it may be caused by hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction and other diseases. At this time, there is generally a problem.
