Effect of homocysteine on pregnancy

The effect of high homocysteine on pregnancy should be judged according to the specific situation.

If a woman has a transient increase in homocysteine due to factors such as mood swings and drinking coffee, it usually does not cause harm to her health and does not affect pregnancy. If a woman has a persistent increase in homocysteine due to hypothyroidism, diabetes, renal dysfunction and other factors, it may reduce the chance of pregnancy. If she is pregnant, it may cause abortion, fetal abortion, abortion, etc.

Therefore, when a woman has a persistent increase in homocysteine due to pathological factors, it should be treated under the guidance of a doctor in time.
