Effect of homocysteine concentration in early pregnancy on gestational hypertensive disorders and other pregnancy outcomes.
Dodds L, Fell DB, Dooley KC, Armson BA, Allen AC, Nassar BA, Perkins S, Joseph KS.

BACKGROUND: Increased total homocysteine (tHcy) may be associated with placental-mediated adverse pregnancy outcomes, but few prospective studies have measured tHcy before pregnancy outcome. This study was undertaken to determine whether increased tHcy measured in early pregnancy is associated with pregnancy loss, gestational hypertension (GH), preeclampsia, or small for gestational age (SGA) infants. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study between 2002 and 2005. We measured tHcy and serum folate in blood samples from pregnant women (<20 weeks' gestation) and collected detailed pregnancy information through a questionnaire and medical record review. RESULTS: Of the 2119 women included in the study, 103 had a pregnancy loss, 115 had gestational hypertension, 65 had preeclampsia, and 129 had an SGA infant. Subjects with increased tHcy concentrations were at increased risk of pregnancy loss [relative risk (RR) 2.1, 95% CI 1.2-3.6] or preeclampsia (RR 2.7, 95% CI 1.4-5.0) than subjects with lower tHcy concentrations, but increased tHcy concentration was not associated with increased risk of developing GH or having an SGA infant. CONCLUSION: The finding of high tHcy in early pregnancy as a risk factor for pregnancy loss and preeclampsia is consistent with a hypothesis that increased tHcy results in abnormalities of the placental vasculature.

Hi Maritza! :Wave-Hello: Welcome to NeuroTalk!

I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to your question and I was unable to locate any discussions about Hemiocysteine. MrsD gave you the best advice that I can think of myself. Feel free to join in anywhere around here. :)

Hello Maritza, it's lovely to meet you.

I see mrsd has given you some good information about Hemiocysteine, but do have a look around the site as there's lots of excellent information in the forums.

Is there a particular area that you'd like more information about? If so, please don't hesitate to ask.
