Homocysteine 20.5μmol/L
is beyond the normal range. If it is caused by drug factors, such as levodopa, isoniazid, methotrexate, etc., it is usually not serious, and homocysteine levels will gradually return to normal after stopping medication. If homocysteine 20.5μmol/L is caused by liver failure, it is relatively serious. Because liver failure is difficult to treat, it is difficult to completely cure, and the prognosis is poor.
For homocysteine 20.5 μ mol/L caused by liver failure, patients can only delay the progression of the disease and improve their quality of life through active treatment.
