A member asked:
Homocysteine level of 14.8. does this mean i have a high chance of getting a blood clot? also have high fibrinogen level 451(means thick blood?)

I'd relax: Your homocysteine level is well within normal limits for most labs, and most of us in pathology aren't impressed with this as a risk for clots, atherosclerosis etc. Your fibrinogen is very slightly above reference range for baseline and would be normal if you were fighting a mild infection. Most physicians would tell you to plan on a normal, healthy life without needing anticoagulation.

Elevated: Homocysteine&fibrinogen may lead to blood clot. Unable to quantify risk any further. You should consult you primary care for possible treatment of homocysteine elevation. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
