Know more about this test
Available at an affordable price in Kochi with Tata 1mg labs, the Serum Homocysteine test helps determine the levels of homocysteine in the blood. Homocysteine is an amino acid produced in the body as part of the normal process of protein breakdown. Elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and other health conditions. This test is often used in conjunction with other cardiac risk markers to provide a comprehensive assessment of an individual's cardiovascular health.
The Serum Homocysteine test is recommended for individuals with a family history of cardiovascular disease, those with risk factors for heart disease, and those with a history of stroke or peripheral artery disease. It is also useful in individuals with certain medical conditions, such as chronic kidney disease and hypothyroidism, or those with a history of poor dietary intake of vitamins B6, B12, or folate. No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat and drink normally as per your daily routine.
