Excess levels in the blood are purported to increase the risk of stroke, certain types of heart disease or peripheral artery disease (PAD). Homocysteine (Hcy), a sulphur-containing amino acid, is formed from the conversion of methionine into cysteine. It is usually rapidly metabolized via 1 of 2 pathways:
a vitamin B6-dependent trans-sulphuration pathway that converts Hcy to cysteine. Thus, low levels of these vitamins/co-factors are associated with hyper-homocysteinemia, which can be classified as moderate (15 to 30 micromol/L), intermediate (31 to 100 micromol/L), or severe (greater than 100 micromol/L).
Aetna considers homocysteine testing experimental and investigational for all other indications, including the following (not an all inclusive list) because its effectiveness for these indications has not been established: As a biomarker for the development and/or progression of erectile dysfunction.
Hankey (2006) noted that there is insufficient evidence to confirm that Hcy is a modifiable causal risk factor for stroke, or to recommend routine screening for, or treatment of, raised plasma total Hcy levels with folic acid and other vitamins, to prevent ischemic stroke.
Hyperhomocysteinemia: Condition in which the plasma levels of homocysteine and related metabolites are elevated (>13.9 μmol/l). Hyperhomocysteinemia can be familial or acquired.
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, osteoporotic fractures and complications during pregnancy.
Homocysteine - An elevated concentration of homocysteine is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. When used in conjunction with methylmalonic acid (MMA), these tests are useful to diagnose and monitor vitamin B12 (cobalamin) and folic acid deficiency and are often useful in evaluating macrocytosis (an elevated MCV, ...
