Homo-cysteine reading after non-fasting blood test was 14.78, which (according to the lab) was normal. what are reference values for this test? ty.

Depends on units: And on the lab. One pair of reference ranges is 0.54-2.3 mg/l or 4-17 micromoles per liter (mcmol/l). The medical community is divided on the value of screening for high homocysteine for folks who seem healthy, but united in hoping that each individual gets enough B12 and folate (folic acid) for their individual metabolism.

High: "Homocysteine at 1 – 5 μmol/L has been found to specifically block tissue plasminogen activator, but not plasminogen binding to endothelial cells. Homocysteine concentrations as low as 8 μmol/L dramatically increase the affinity of lipoprotein(a) for plasmin-modified fibrin surfaces, thus inhibiting plasminogen activation." from: The High Atherosclerotic Risk Among Epileptics
