Homocysteine

Find out if you have a high homocysteine level in your blood with the Homocysteine Test.

We are all becoming more aware of the importance of being health conscious, and feel the effects of our modern day lifestyles which include convenience foods and little or no exercise.

By following a healthy regime we may think that we are missing the risk of any future problems. However we could still fall prey to a host of diseases because of a substance called homocysteine. The Homocysteine Test from YorkTest Laboratories helps identify if you have a raised level of homocysteine in your blood.

The Homocysteine test is a quick and easy 100% home test that delivers reliable laboratory test results within just 15 days, all from the comfort of your home.

YorkTest recommend that when you take the homocysteine test, it is a fasting blood sample on a Monday morning, as the sample needs to be posted to the laboratory in the UK and must arrive within 7 days.

Elevated levels of homocysteine are recognised as a risk factor for heart disease and stroke independent of established risk factors such as cholesterol, smoking and obesity.

Homocysteine has also been linked to Alzheimer's disease, problem pregnancies, risk of neural tube defects in children from mothers with high levels of homocysteine and other congenital defects.

YORKTEST have developed a unique kit whereby you can take your own blood sample. A few drops of blood from a pin-prick are dropped onto a card and the membrane within the card then separates the plasma from the blood cells. This plasma blood sample is then sent back to the laboratory and tested using technology designed specifically for the precise and routine measurement of homocysteine in blood plasma.
