Why is homocysteine detected in fetal arrest?

Fetal arrest refers to fetal arrest. The reason for fetal arrest to check homocysteine is to determine whether the cause of fetal arrest is caused by elevated homocysteine levels.

If there is elevated homocysteine content in pregnant women, it indicates that there is folate deficiency in the body, which is not conducive to maintaining the normal development of fetal nervous system and easily increases the risk of fetal arrest. In addition, if the homocysteine in pregnant women is in a high state for a long time, it will damage the inner wall of blood vessels, leading to decreased vascular elasticity, causing blood circulation to slow down, and it is easy to form thrombosis blocking blood vessels, affecting fetal blood supply and inducing fetal arrest.
