What is the significance of homocysteine in pregnant women?

The significance of testing homocysteine in pregnant women is generally great.

Testing homocysteine levels in pregnant women can help diagnose hypothyroidism, abnormal liver function, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, cerebral thrombosis and other diseases. In addition, testing homocysteine in pregnant women can also know whether there is a lack of folic acid in the body. If the test results show that there is a lack of folic acid in the body, folic acid should be supplemented under the guidance of a doctor in time to prevent fetal neurodevelopmental abnormalities.

In addition to testing homocysteine during pregnancy, pregnant women should also undergo abdominal B-ultrasound examination, non-invasive DNA examination, etc. to determine fetal growth and development.
