Homocysteine Test

The Homocysteine Test measures blood levels of

homocysteine, an amino acid linked to cardiovascular disease risk. While

homocysteine itself doesn’t cause symptoms, it serves as a marker for potential

health issues. Elevated levels may signal an increased risk of heart disease,

stroke, or blood vessel damage. Physicians use this test in conjunction with

clinical evaluations to make informed decisions about further diagnostic tests

and treatment plans for patients.
