Hyperhomocysteine is called hyperhomocysteinemia. When the
value of homocysteine is 5-15μmol/L, it is abnormal if it exceeds 15μ mol/L. It indicates that homocysteine is too high and can be diagnosed as hyperhomocysteinemia. It is generally caused by long-term drinking, smoking or coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, etc.
After diagnosis of hyperhomocysteinemia, further systematic examination is required. After diagnosis, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and treatment according to the cause and own conditions.
