Homocysteine

Homocysteine is an amino acid produced during the metabolism of methionine, an essential amino acid. Elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood, known as hyperhomocysteinemia, can indicate a risk for cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and blood clots. It may also be associated with vitamin B6, B12, or folate deficiencies, as these nutrients help metabolize homocysteine. Testing involves a simple blood draw, typically after fasting. High levels can result from genetic factors, poor diet, certain medications, or chronic conditions like kidney disease. Reducing levels often involves dietary changes, supplementation with B vitamins, or addressing underlying conditions. Results should be interpreted in conjunction with overall health assessments.
