Homocysteine 19μmol/L generally takes 1-3 months to drop.
Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid, the normal range is 5-15μmol/L. Homocysteine 19μmol/L indicates that the index is high. If it is caused by hyperhomocysteinemia, H-type hypertension and other diseases, it usually takes about 1 month to drop. If it is caused by nephrotic syndrome, renal failure and other diseases, due to low renal excretion function, the rate of homocysteine decline will be relatively prolonged, which may take 2-3 months.
Patients need to go to the hospital for blood pressure measurement, renal function examination, etc. to clarify the cause, and targeted treatment to promote the recovery of the disease.
