Is homocysteine 17 high

Homocysteine 17μmol/L is considered high. The

normal range of homocysteine is 5-15μmol/L, while homocysteine 17μmol/L has exceeded the normal level, so it is considered high. High homocysteine may be related to drug factors, such as taking levodopa, isoniazid, methotrexate and other drugs, which may interfere with the metabolism of folic acid or sulfur-containing amino acids, resulting in elevated homocysteine levels. It may also be caused by disease factors, such as hypothyroidism, psoriasis, renal failure, etc.

It is recommended that patients combine other examinations to clarify the cause, such as physical examination, thyroid function examination, renal function examination, etc.
