Homocysteine

The Homocysteine test measures the level of homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood that is produced during the metabolism of methionine. Elevated homocysteine levels can be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, as well as other health issues.This test is particularly useful for assessing cardiovascular risk, especially in individuals with a family history of heart disease or other risk factors. Understanding homocysteine levels can help healthcare providers identify nutritional deficiencies and implement dietary or lifestyle changes to reduce cardiovascular risk.
