A member asked:
Mom have massive pulmonary embolism homocysteine levels are high what does that mean ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clotting tendency: Elevated homocysteine levels are usually due to a lack of frolic acid and other B vitamins. Chronic elevation can increase the chances of hardening of the arteries as well as increase the likelihood of blood clots. Dietary modifications and exercise can help protect from some of these problems.
