Is homocysteine 19.61 a serious problem?

Homocysteine 19.61μmol/L is a serious problem, which needs to be judged according to the actual situation.

The normal value of homocysteine is 5-15μmol/L, and homocysteine 19.61μmol/L indicates that the index is high. If it is caused by lack of folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and other nutrients in the body, the patient can adjust the diet structure in time and actively intervene. The general problem is not serious. Homocysteine can be reduced to normal levels without excessive worry.

If it is caused by cerebral infarction, acute myocardial infarction, etc., the problem is usually serious. The infarcted brain tissue and myocardial cells cannot be repaired, which can cause irreversible damage and serious life-threatening damage.
