Homocysteine

Extended panel — run periodically

What it indicates

An amino acid whose level is influenced by folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6.

Why a series helps

It responds to B vitamin intake over weeks, which makes the shape of a series more readable than any single value.

What this page does not tell you

What a particular Homocysteine result means depends on you: your history, your medication, why the test was taken. Ziro does not interpret results for individuals and does not diagnose. If something in your results warrants a conversation, that conversation is with a doctor, and your results are downloadable so you can bring them.
