High homocysteine is dangerous

Homocysteine is dangerous when it exceeds 15μmol/L.

Homocysteine is a metabolite of cysteine and methionine. The normal range is 5-15μmol/L. If the test result of this substance in the patient's blood is greater than 15μmol/L, it is an abnormal test result. If homocysteine exceeds 15μmol/L for a long time, it will damage the blood vessel wall, cause the decrease of blood vessel elasticity, slow blood flow, blood vessel blockage, etc., which may affect the return blood volume, lead to low cardiac function, and increase the risk of cerebral infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction and other diseases.
