Homocysteine 13.67 Should I take medicine?

Homocysteine 13.67μmol/L generally does not need to take medicine.

Homocysteine is an intermediate product of methionine and cysteine metabolism. Under normal circumstances, the normal value of this substance is 5-15μ mol/L. More than 15μmol/L indicates high homocysteine, which is an abnormal phenomenon. Such patients may need to take medicine. However, homocysteine 13.67μmol/L is a normal value and generally does not cause discomfort to the body, so it is usually not necessary to take medicine.

To prevent homocysteine levels from rising, it is necessary to improve bad habits. Avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol daily, smoking and drinking coffee as much as possible.
