Is homocysteine 25 serious?

The normal range of homocysteine is 5-15μmol/L, and homocysteine 25μmol/L indicates that the index is high. Whether it is serious or not should be judged according to the reasons for the increase of the index and whether there is timely intervention.

The homocysteine level is easily affected by diet. If it is caused by eating a large number of foods with high cholesterol content such as pig brain flower, pig kidney and egg yolk before testing, it is generally not serious and can return to normal by itself. If it is caused by lack of folic acid and H-type hypertension in the body, it is usually not very serious under active intervention. However, if it is caused by acute myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other diseases, if it is not treated in time and effectively, it is more serious, which can lead to irreversible damage to myocardium and brain tissue, and even threaten life.
