Hyperhomocysteinemia and Venous Thrombosis

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1998
In recent years hyperhomocysteinemia has been established as a new risk factor for neural tube defects, arterial cardiovascular disease, and venous thrombosis. Concerning vascular problems, it first became clear that hyperhomocysteinemia might be (though not proven) a risk factor for arterial disease as observed in case-control studies, as well as in ...

Hyperhomocysteinemia and Arterial Aneurysm

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2002
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HCY) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Arterial aneurysm has rarely been described in association with heterozygous HCY. Here we report two cases of this association. Case 1 was 32-Year-old man who presented with distal trophic manifestations of the lower extremities. Upon investigation, occlusive arterial disease

Genetic Basis of Hyperhomocysteinemia

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2000
Homocysteine is a sulfur-containing, nonproteinogenic amino acid biosynthesized from methionine which has a key place in common between the folate cycle and the activated methyl cycle. Homocysteine export into the extracellular medium reflects an imbalance between homocysteine production and metabolism (1). Hyperhomocysteinemia has been associated with

Hyperhomocysteinemia and thrombophilia

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2010
It is now widely accepted that hyperhomocysteinemia (HHC) is a risk factor for thrombophilia. HHC is the result of either impaired enzyme function or a deficiency of vitamin B (folate, B₆, B₁₂), or both, and can be treated with vitamin supplements.

Diabetes Mellitus and Hyperhomocysteinemia

Seminars in Vascular Medicine, 2002
Patients with diabetes mellitus are prone to cardiovascular disease and risk factors presumably unrelated to diabetes, such as hyperhomocysteinemia, may be involved in the atherothrombotic process in these subjects. Plasma homocysteine levels are usually normal in diabetes, although both lower and higher levels have been reported.

Hyperhomocysteinemia and Venous Thrombosis

Seminars in Hematology, 2007
It has been recognized, since the first description of the disease, that arterial and venous thrombosis are common in patients with homocysteinuria. Interest in the condition increased with reports from a large number of mainly retrospective studies showing that mildly elevated homocysteine levels are also associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE ...

Evaluation of hyperhomocysteinemia prevalence and its influence on the selected cognitive functions in patients with schizophrenia.

Progress in Neuro-psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 2019
There is evidence that hyperhomocysteinemia may be associated with the development of schizophrenia and cognitive impairment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between cognitive functions and normal homocysteine ...

Hyperhomocysteinemia and Atherothrombotic Disease

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1998
Hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for atherothrombotic disease. The mechanism by which homocysteine induces atherosclerosis and thrombosis is not fully understood. Data on arterial histology in humans with homocystinuria and mild hyperhomocysteinemia are limited.

Hyperhomocysteinemia After Kidney Transplantation

Transplantation Proceedings, 2011
To determine the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia (plasma homocysteine[Hcy] concentration≥15 μmol/L) and evaluate its correlation with allograft function.The study included 159 stable renal transplant recipients (104 men and 55 women). The prevalence and severity of hyperhomocysteinemia were compared in the transplant recipients vs 72 patients (48 ...

Hyperhomocysteinemia and thrombosis

Lipids, 2001
AbstractHomocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfhydryl amino acid derived from the metabolic conversion of methionine, which is dependent on vitamins (folic acid, B12, and B6) as cofactors or cosubstrates. In 1969, McCully first reported the presence of severe atherosclerotic lesions in patients with severe hyperhomocysteinemia and hypothesized the existence of a ...
