Is homocysteine 300 too high?

Homocysteine is an intermediate product of methionine and cysteine metabolism, mainly obtained through food, and its normal range is 5-15μmol/L. If the test result is>15μmol/L, it indicates that the index is high and belongs to abnormal performance. It may be related to non-pathological factors such as alcoholism and high cholesterol diet, or pathological factors such as hypothyroidism and nephropathy. However, 300μmol/L is much higher than the normal value, which is mostly related to the above pathological factors, and also indicates that the risk of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other diseases increases, so homocysteine 300μmol/L is generally considered high.
