What is a Homocysteine Test?

A Homocysteine Test is a simple diagnostic procedure that measures the amount of an amino acid called homocysteine in your blood. This test uses a blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm. The test helps detect deficiencies of essential vitamins like B12, B6, and folic acid, and can also diagnose a rare genetic disorder called homocystinuria.
