Is homocysteine level 15.70 μmol/L dangerous?

The homocysteine level of 15.70 μmol/l is elevated because the norm for homocysteine is usually 5-15 μmol/l, and values above 15 μmol/l may indicate an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Long-term elevation of homocysteine levels can lead to damage to blood vessel walls, increasing the risk of blood clots and cardiac events.

Further diagnostics and possible treatment, such as supplementation with vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid, are recommended, which can help lower homocysteine levels. It is worth consulting a doctor to assess the risks and develop an appropriate treatment strategy.
