Homocysteine 15.3μmol/L is generally considered high.
Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, which belongs to one of the indicators of blood examination. The normal range is 5-15μmol/L. Homocysteine 15.3μmol/L exceeds the normal range, indicating that the index is high, which may be related to folic acid deficiency and vitamin B12 in the body. In addition, it is necessary to be alert to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as H-type hypertension, cerebral infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart
disease, etc.
