Homocysteine
This blood test measures homocysteine levels, which when elevated increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is also linked to vitamin B12 and folate deficiency and helps in early risk assessment.
A homocysteine test measures homocysteine levels in the blood. Homocysteine is a type of amino acid present in your body in a limited quantity. However, if the quantity of this amino acid is found to be high, it probably means that you’re deficient in vitamins B6, and B12. It can also mean that something is wrong and that the body isn’t able to break down homocysteine properly. A homocysteine test usually helps in diagnosing vitamin B (B6 and B12) and folic acid deficiency. Additionally, the test may be prescribed to understand someone’s risk of developing heart disease if they already have high blood pressure, cholesterol and sugar levels. It is a simple blood test that you can take from the comfort of your home. Simply schedule your test at the desired time and our trained phlebotomist will be there to collect your sample.
