Homocysteine 60μmol/L in men is serious or not

Is homocysteine 60 serious?

. Homocysteine is converted from methionine and is mainly obtained from food. The normal range is 5-15μmol/L. However, 60μmol/L is significantly higher than normal, which may be related to pathological factors such as nephropathy and psoriasis. It also indicates an increased risk of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. If further confirmed by imaging examination, it is usually more serious. However, elevated homocysteine levels may also be associated with nonpathological factors such as alcoholism, smoking, and poor diet, and are usually not severe if there are no abnormal organic lesions.
