Does homocysteine change in women?

Homocysteine in women generally changes.

Homocysteine in women is an intermediate product of methionine and cysteine metabolism. The value is not fixed. It is easily affected by many factors, such as increasing age, smoking, drinking alcohol, and eating a lot of methionine-rich foods. In addition, if women suffer from hypothyroidism, nephrotic syndrome, diabetes, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and other diseases, homocysteine metabolism can be affected, resulting in high homocysteine.

Therefore, women can regularly go to the hospital for homocysteine level testing to check whether there is any disease in the body.
