Effects of hyperhomocysteinemia on ischemic cerebral small vessel disease and analysis of inflammatory mechanisms
Liming Cao, Yi Guo, Zhishan Zhu
Abstract
The assessment of Hcy levels is important for ischemic CSVD. Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for LI and severe WML. Further, hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with high hs-CRP levels, and this may involve an inflammatory mechanism; however, further studies are needed in this regard.
