Is homocysteine 12.2 considered high or normal?

Homocysteine is an intermediate product synthesized by cysteine and methionine metabolism, and also belongs to sulfur-containing amino acids. It needs to be metabolized out of the body by the kidney. The normal test result is 5-15μmol/L. The above test results do not exceed the normal test range, so it is usually normal and not considered high.
