Your homocysteine level is within the acceptable normal range. While not in the optimal zone below 10, this level is not associated with significant increased cardiovascular risk. Homocysteine rises when B vitamin intake is insufficient or kidney function declines slightly.
Homocysteine is an amino acid that, when elevated, damages the lining of blood vessels. A very low level means minimal vascular oxidative stress from this compound. Low homocysteine is associated with better endothelial function and lower cardiovascular risk.
This is a very favorable result. Continue adequate intake of B vitamins (B6, B9, B12) which regulate homocysteine metabolism.
Homocysteine: {{value}} {{unit}} — very low (ref: <{{high}})A low homocysteine level means your body is efficiently processing this amino acid through healthy methylation pathways. Good B vitamin status — particularly B6, folate, and B12 — keeps homocysteine low. Lower levels are associated with healthier arteries and reduced cardiovascular risk.
Excellent result. Maintain good B vitamin intake through diet or supplements to keep homocysteine in this healthy range.
Homocysteine: {{value}} {{unit}} — low (ref: <{{high}}; optimal: 5–10)Your homocysteine is in the lower healthy range, indicating efficient amino acid processing and good methylation function. This level poses minimal vascular risk. Levels here are generally maintained by adequate B vitamin intake and good kidney function.
Good result. Support healthy homocysteine with regular intake of leafy greens, legumes, and B12-rich foods.
Homocysteine: {{value}} {{unit}} — low normal (ref: <{{high}}; borderline: 10–12)Your homocysteine level is within the acceptable normal range. While not in the optimal zone below 10, this level is not associated with significant increased cardiovascular risk. Homocysteine rises when B vitamin intake is insufficient or kidney function declines slightly.
Normal but there is room for improvement. Increasing intake of B6, folate, and B12 can lower homocysteine further toward the optimal range.
Homocysteine: {{value}} {{unit}} — normal (ref: <{{high}}; optimal: <10)An optimal homocysteine below 10 mcmol/L is associated with the lowest risk of vascular damage from this compound. At this level, homocysteine is unlikely to be contributing to arterial wall damage or plaque formation. Good methylation pathways are operating efficiently.
Great result. Continue B vitamin-rich eating habits and regular check-ups to monitor this over time.
Homocysteine: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimal (ref: <10)A borderline elevated homocysteine level begins to put gentle oxidative stress on the blood vessel lining. This can promote inflammation and early changes in arterial walls associated with the slow buildup of plaque inside arteries. Common may contribute to include low B12, low folate, low B6, or early kidney function changes.
Address B vitamin status — get B12, folate, and B6 levels tested. Dietary improvement or targeted supplementation can bring this back to optimal.
Homocysteine: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline elevated (ref: <{{high}}; borderline: 10–12)Elevated homocysteine is toxic to the cells lining blood vessels. It promotes oxidative stress, inflammation, and accelerated the slow buildup of plaque inside arteries. High homocysteine is an independent risk factor for heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. It is usually caused by deficiencies in B12, folate, or B6, sometimes combined with genetic variants like MTHFR.
Discuss with your doctor. Testing B12, folate, and B6 levels is the next step. Targeted B vitamin therapy often brings homocysteine down noticeably.
Homocysteine: {{value}} {{unit}} — elevated (ref: <{{high}}; elevated: >12)A very high homocysteine above 30 mcmol/L (noticeable hyperhomocysteinemia) may contribute to aggressive vascular damage and noticeably raises the risk of premature heart attack, stroke, blood clots, and neurological complications. This level can occur with noticeable B12 or folate deficiency, genetic disorders of methionine metabolism, or serious kidney disease.
Seek medical evaluation promptly. High-dose B vitamin therapy under medical supervision is typically needed. Underlying genetic or metabolic may contribute to should also be investigated.
