Can homocysteine high cause foot numbness?


Committed to your health journey.
Whether high homocysteine can cause foot numbness needs to be judged according to the specific situation.
The normal range of homocysteine is 5-15μmol/L. If it exceeds this range, it indicates that the index is high. If it is only a simple index, such as smoking, alcoholism and other non-pathological factors, in the absence of abnormal organic lesions, there will generally be no obvious discomfort, nor will it be accompanied by symptoms of foot numbness. However, high homocysteine may also be related to pathological factors, such as coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, etc., which can affect blood circulation throughout the body, leading to reduced blood supply to the lower limbs, resulting in foot numbness.
