Homocysteine 20.80 High?

Homocysteine 20.80μmol/L is generally high. The

normal value of homocysteine is 5-15μmol/L, and homocysteine 20.80μmol/L is beyond the normal range. The high homocysteine may be related to physiological factors, such as excessive intake of methionine-rich foods, increasing age, smoking, etc. It may also be caused by disease factors, such as hypothyroidism, acute myocardial infarction, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, etc.

Therefore, when the patient is diagnosed with homocysteine 20.80μmol/L, other tests should be performed to clarify the cause, such as physical examination, ECG, thyroid function test, etc.
