Homocysteine

Homocysteine is a single‑marker blood test that quantifies the concentration of the amino acid homocysteine, which has been linked in research to cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. A standard venous blood draw is performed, and the laboratory determines the exact homocysteine level, providing a numeric result that clinicians can use to assess risk and consider interventions such as dietary changes, vitamin supplementation, or further cardiovascular evaluation. Results are typically available within the laboratory’s routine turnaround period. The price includes the blood collection, laboratory measurement of homocysteine, and a detailed report accompanied by a short tele‑consultation to help interpret the result and suggest next steps. This test is appropriate for adults who want to monitor a biomarker associated with heart and brain health.
