21. Hyperhomocysteinemia Elevation of the plasma homocysteine concentration (hyperhomocysteinemia) is a common and important risk factor for atherosclerotic arterial disease (Boushey http://www.tigc.org/eguidelines/hyperhomocysteinemia02.htm

November 2002 Background Elevation of the plasma homocysteine concentration (hyperhomocysteinemia) is a common and important risk factor for atherosclerotic arterial disease (Boushey CJ et al., JAMA 274:1049-1057, 1995) and for venous thromboembolism (Ray JG, Arch. Intern. Med. 158:2101-2106, 1998). The risk conferred by homocysteine adds to or even multiplies the risk conferred by factors such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and lipid disorders (for arterial disease) and Factor V Leiden (for venous thromboembolism). Even mild elevations of plasma homocysteine confer risk. Homocysteine levels are influenced by diet, as homocysteine is produced from metabolism of methionine, and cleared by metabolic pathways that require folic acid, vitamin B , and vitamin B as cofactors. Low levels of these vitamins are therefore associated with hyperhomocysteinemia. Congenital deficiencies of enzymes in these metabolic pathways, and renal failure, also are important causes of hyperhomocysteinemia. Screening Fasting plasma or serum homocysteine concentrations should be measured as a part of the investigation of selected patients with venous thromboembolism, particularly those with idiopathic thrombosis, recurrent thrombosis, and thrombosis at a young age or at an unusual site (see guideline on Investigation of Suspected Hypercoagulable States). Measurement of a homocysteine level should be considered in patients with arterial disease.

Chapters at Harrison's ABSTRACT Background Previous studies have suggested that hyperhomocysteinemia may be a risk factor for venous thrombosis. To assess the risk of venous thrombosis associated with hyperhomocysteinemia, we studied plasma homocysteine levels in patients with a first episode of deep-vein thrombosis and in normal control subjects. Methods We measured plasma homocysteine levels in 269 patients with a first, objectively diagnosed episode of deep-vein thrombosis and in 269 healthy controls matched to the patients according to age and sex. Hyperhomocysteinemia was defined as a plasma homocysteine level above the 95th percentile in the control Results Of the 269 patients, 28 (10 percent) had plasma homocysteine levels above the 95th percentile for the controls, as compared with 13 of the controls (matched odds ratio, 2.5; 95 percent

(March 21 issue) supports our finding that hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for deep-vein thrombosis that is independent of coexisting abnormalities of naturally occurring anticoagulants. This important confirmation challenges the suggestion by Mandel et al., in their article in the same issue, that hyperhomocysteinemia increases the risk of thrombosis only if the elevation in homocysteinemia is associated with the presence of factor V Leiden. Unlike our study of patients with early-onset deep-vein thrombosis and their previous study of patients with recurrent deep-vein thrombosis

Hyperhomocysteinemia What You Are Not Eating Could Hurt You The important role of folate-rich foods in the prevention of arteriosclerosis. Heart disease is the number one killer in this country, claiming 500,000 lives every year. Factors such as cigarette smoking, high blood pressure and cholesterol, physical inactivity, age, stress, hereditary factors, diabetes, and being a male all contribute to an increased risk of heart disease. However, many heart attacks occur in people without any of these risk factors. Recently studies point to a new risk factor. Homocysteine, an amino acid and a basic unit of protein, appears to be implicated in 10-15 percent of vascular (heart) disease cases. A 1992 study of over 14,000 male physicians found that those with the highest levels of homocysteine had more than three times the risk of heart disease. Homocysteine, like cholesterol, has an important role in forming and maintaining tissues, but abnormally high levels of it in the blood can injure blood vessels. Foods rich in B vitamins - folate, B12 and B6 - help keep homocysteine at safe levels. In other words, when B-vitamins are provided, the homocysteine levels may decrease. Conversely, low levels of blood folate are consistently related to high levels of homocysteine. Folate (also known as folic acid) seems to have a greater clearing effect on homocysteine levels that B6, B12, or both vitamins combined. Some people may be more prone to homocysteine buildup and may consequently need more B-vitamins.

Hyperhomocysteinemia May Accelerate the Development of Atherosclerotic Lesions Despite Significantly Lowering Plasma Cholesterol Levels in LDL Receptor Knockout Mice. Rebecca L. Eastgard, Elizabeth A. Kirk, Renee C LeBoeuf, Michael E. Rosenfeld. Department of Pathobiology and Program in Nutritional Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle WA. Hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for vascular diseases but the mechanisms by which homocysteine contributes to the disease process are not known. To address this question, we have developed a dietary protocol for induction of homocysteinemia involving stepwise increases in methionine intake from 2% to 4% over 16 and 24 week periods in the LDL receptor knockout mouse (LDLR-/-). This protocol results in a range of plasma homocysteine levels between 14 and 47 umol/l (n=58). Surprisingly, the elevation of plasma homocysteine was highly correlated with a significant reduction in total plasma cholesterol levels at all time points between 4 and 24 weeks in the LDLR-/-mice (r = -0.43) (average 223 +/- 37mg/dl [n=57] in the methionine fed LDLR-/- mice versus m m [n=19] for the chow fed mice vs. 13,721 +/- 6011

Maler, Eckart Rüther, and Johannes Kornhuber Department of Psychiatry Department of Neuroradiology Georg-August University of Göttingen, Germany Corresponding author: Stefan Bleich, M.D, Department of Psychiatry, Georg-August University of Göttingen, von-Siebold-Str. 5, D-37075 Göttingen, Germany; e-mail stefan.bleich@t-online.de Abstract Manganese intoxication is a well-known cause of parkinsonism and dementia. Here we present the case of an 80-year-old patient with proven manganese poisoning. We observed no long-term progression of the manganese-induced parkinsonian syndrome. The blood manganese concentration is now reduced to below the normal range (4.8 m g/l), but the manganese concentration in scalp hair (2.79 m g/g) has kept on increasing. Strikingly, even though we found normal cobalamin and even elevated serum folate levels, we observed a moderate hyperhomocysteinemia in two independent samples. We did not find any common known risk factors for this moderate hyperhomocysteinemia The possible role of hyperhomocysteinemia in manganese-induced parkinsonism is discussed (German J Psychiatry 2000;3:14-20) Key words: manganese, homocysteine, parkinsonism
