Homocyst(e)ine

This test measures the level of homocysteine, a type of amino acid found in your blood. Because high levels can damage the lining of your arteries and lead to blood clots, this test helps doctors evaluate your risk for heart disease and stroke. It is particularly useful for identifying potential heart risks that other standard tests might miss. However, this test cannot diagnose specific vitamin deficiencies or confirm the presence of heart disease on its own.
