The reference interval for plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and serum folate concentrations were estimated. Total of 3,154 reference individuals (1,029 men and 2,125 women) were selected based on stringent exclusion criteria. For plasma tHcy concentration (µM/L), reference values (median [5-95 percentile]) were 7.72 (5.03 to 13.80) and 6.09 (3.95-10.19) in men and women, respectively. For serum folate concentration (nM/L), reference values were 23.71 (11.73-38.44) and 28.95 (15.23-40.44) in men and women, respectively. The tHcy levels of both genders in the present study were lower than those in previous reports from other countries and Korea.
本研究中,男性和女性的血浆总同型半胱氨酸(tHcy)水平均低于其他国家和韩国以往报告中的水平。分别对血浆总同型半胱氨酸(tHcy)浓度(µM/L)和血清叶酸浓度(nM/L)的参考区间进行了估计。基于严格的排除标准,共选择了 3154 名参考个体(男性 1029 人,女性 2125 人)。男性和女性的血浆 tHcy 浓度参考值(中位数[5-95 分位数])分别为 7.72(5.03 至 13.80)和 6.09(3.95 至 10.19)。血清叶酸浓度参考值分别为 23.71(11.73-38.44)和 28.95(15.23-40.44)。
