Is homocysteine 17 normal

Whether homocysteine 17μmol/L is normal is usually related to the actual situation.

If the patient does not eat any food before examination, it will not cause a large amount of homocysteine production, nor will it affect the accuracy of the examination results. The normal value is 5-15μmol/L, while the homocysteine value is 17μmol/L, which has exceeded the normal range. At this time, it is generally abnormal. If the patient eats more food containing methionine before examination, methionine can produce homocysteine after metabolism by the body, resulting in increased homocysteine content in the body, which reduces the accuracy of examination results. At this time, it is usually normal. It is recommended that the patient measure again after a period of time to maintain the accuracy of examination results.
