Homocysteine 16.9 Is it serious? Should I take medicine?

The normal value of homocysteine is 5-15μmol/L. Homocysteine 16.9 μ mol/L indicates that the index is high. If the subject eats before examination, it can lead to an increase in the raw materials for synthesizing cysteine, causing homocysteine to rise. This situation is a detection error, generally not serious, and no medicine is needed.

If it is caused by H-type hypertension, it is usually necessary to take medicine, such as nifedipine, irbesartan, folic acid tablets, etc. If the life intervention is ineffective, the blood pressure can be controlled stably by standard treatment, but it is not very serious. If it is not treated for a long time, it is more serious and can cause target organ damage.
