Homocysteine 18.8 Is it serious?

The severity of homocysteine 18.8μmol/L should be judged in combination with specific conditions.

The normal value of homocysteine is 5-15μmol/L, while 18.8μmol/L is slightly higher than the normal value, indicating that the index is high. If the examination error is caused by no fasting before the examination, it is usually not serious. In addition, if it is caused by non-pathological factors such as poor diet and irregular work and rest, it is usually not serious because it is not accompanied by abnormal organic lesions and obvious discomfort symptoms. However, if it is clear through imaging examination that it is caused by pathological factors such as coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, etc., it may be more serious because the cause is difficult to remove.
