Homocysteine> 15μmol/L is generally abnormal.

Is homocysteine greater than 15 normal?

Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, the normal range is 5-15μmol/L. Homocysteine> 15μ mol/L is considered abnormal, which may be caused by irregular test results. In addition, it may be related to H-type hypertension, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other diseases.

It is recommended that the subject improve compliance and test under fasting state. If the measurement result is still>15μmol/L, blood pressure measurement, cardiac ultrasound, coronary angiography, etc. need to be further improved to confirm the diagnosis.
