Homocysteine
An amino acid that rises when B-vitamin metabolism is impaired.
Cardiology guidelines no longer recommend it for risk assessment — lowering it has not improved outcomes.
How we rate it: Useful
Worth doing for a specific reason: a risk factor, a symptom, an age group.
This rating and the description above were written against published screening guidelines by someone who is not a clinician, and are awaiting review by one. We would rather say that than imply an authority we do not have.
