The normal range of homocysteine in 70-year-old people is 5-15μmol/L.
Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, the normal value is 5-15μmol/L. Homocysteine greater than 15μmol/L may be caused by recent high cholesterol diet, cerebral infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, etc. Homocysteine less than 5μmol/L generally has no clinical significance.
If homocysteine in 70-year-old people is greater than 15μmol/L, coronary angiography, cardiac ultrasound, brain CT, brain MRI and other examinations need to be further improved to clarify the cause and decide the treatment plan according to medical advice.
