Homocysteine in plasma by Fluorimetry FAST (500 test)

Homocysteine  in plasma by Fluorimetry – FAST (code  Z09710) – 500 tests package.

INSIGHTS
Homocysteine is considered an independent risk factor, because it is able to increase the incidence of cardiovascular diseases independently of the presence of other causing factors. Values over 10-12 micromoles per liter are correlated to an augmented risk of arteriosclerosis, ictus and myocardial infarction. Like cholesterol, homocysteine is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. However it also increases the risk of other pathologies (venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) as well as fetal malformations, mental decay, Alzheimer and spontaneous fractures.

Principle of the Method:

Homocysteine is detected in plasma after treatment of sample with a reducing reagent and a specific derivatization reagent at room temperature for 15 min. After deproteinization the sample is directly injected into the HPLC.
