Is homocysteine determination significant?

Homocysteine determination is generally more significant.

Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, can assist in the diagnosis of H-type hypertension, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Secondly, homocysteine can assess the nutritional status of the body, if the index is elevated, it may be caused by the lack of B vitamins in the body.

Homocysteine cannot directly diagnose the disease. If the test result is abnormal, blood pressure measurement, coronary angiography, myocardial necrosis markers, brain CT examination, trace element examination, etc. can be further performed according to the doctor's advice to confirm the diagnosis.
