Effect of homocysteine (Hcy) on blood vessels

The effect of homocysteine on blood vessels should be judged according to the specific situation. The

normal value of homocysteine is 5-15μmol/L. If homocysteine is within the normal range or lower than the normal range, it usually does not affect blood vessels. If homocysteine is higher than the normal range, it may lead to blood vessel damage, inflammation and plaque formation on the wall of the vessel, affecting the blood supply of the heart and brain, increasing the incidence of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, cerebral infarction and other diseases.

When homocysteine levels are higher than the normal range, timely intervention should be carried out to prevent complications.
