Is a High Homocysteine Level Related to Thrombosis?

چکیده
Paradoxical absence of a pro-thrombotic phenotype in a Mouse model of severe hyper-homocysteinemia. The study by Eğin and Akar [1] entitled, First observation of MTHFR 678C-A (Ala 222 Ala) single nucleotide polymorphism, in the recent issue of the Journal (2012; 29: 204-5) requires questioning its importance to thrombosis in the light of Dayal et al.'s findings in a mouse model [2]. I used to think that high homocysteine level important in thrombosis, whereas currently I question such knowledge. As such, I think the authors must show the functional effect of their observation in blood coagulation and its relationship to the thermolabile variant of MTHFR ?.

Background and purpose: Hyperhomocysteinemia is common among patients with renal failure and the risk of cardiovascular diseases increases with hyperhomocysteinemia. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two doses of folic acid (2 and 7.5 mg/day ) in decreasing plasma concentration of homocysteine in ËSRD patients receiving regular hemodialysis therapy. Materials and methods...

Introduction: Homocysteine is an aminoacid yielded from methionin to cysteine metabolism. Normal plasma concentration of homocysteine in human is between 5-15 mol/l and an increase more than 5 mol/l can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis and thrombosis. On the other hand in dialysis patients due to some reasons such as uremia, genetic factors, dialysis related factors...

Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and thrombosis and is inversely related to plasma folate and vitamin B12 levels. We assessed the effects of vitamin supplementation on plasma homocysteine levels in 89 patients with a history of recurrent venous thrombosis and 227 healthy volunteers. Patients and hyperhomocysteinemic (homocysteine level >16 micromol/L) volunteers were ra...
