Condition in which the plasma levels of homocysteine and related metabolites are elevated
(>13.9 μmol/l). Hyperhomocysteinemia can be familial or acquired. Development of the
acquired hyperhomocysteinemia is mostly associated with vitamins B and/or folate deficiency
(e.g., PERNICIOUS ANEMIA, vitamin malabsorption). Familial hyperhomocysteinemia often
results in a more severe elevation of total homocysteine and excretion into the urine,
resulting in HOMOCYSTINURIA. Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular
and neurodegenerative diseases, osteoporotic fractures and complications during pregnancy
