What it measures
The Homocysteine test measures blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid. Elevated homocysteine is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and other health issues. The test helps assess methylation pathways and the effectiveness of B-vitamin metabolism. Abnormal levels may indicate deficiencies in vitamin B6, B12, or folic acid. Elevated homocysteine levels might increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
