About test
What does HOMOCYSTEINE measure?
The homocysteine test measures the level of homocysteine, an amino acid, in the blood. It may be used to help assess possible vitamin B12, folate, or vitamin B6 deficiency, evaluate certain inherited metabolic conditions, or provide additional information when assessing cardiovascular risk. Results are interpreted alongside medical history, symptoms, and other laboratory findings.
