Is homocysteine 20.80 normal for women?

Homocysteine 20.80μmol/L in women is generally considered high and abnormal.

Homocysteine is an intermediate product of methionine and cysteine metabolism, and the normal range is 5-15μmol/L. Homocysteine 20.80μmol/L in women has exceeded this range, so it is considered abnormal and belongs to elevated indicators. Elevated homocysteine indicators may be caused by lack of nutrients such as folic acid and vitamin B6 in the body, and may also be related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and cerebral infarction.

Patients can go to the hospital for further trace element examination, coronary angiography, brain CT, etc. to confirm diagnosis.
