Homocysteine (Hcy) is an intermediate metabolite of methionine metabolism. Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is defined as a condition characterized by plasma Hcy level above 16 μmol/L which can result from abnormal Hcy metabolism. HHcy has been confirmed to be related to cardio-cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, liver cirrhosis and kidney diseases. In this review, we summarize the correlation between HHcy and kidney diseases. Elucidating the role of HHcy in kidney diseases may provide a new strategy to prevent and treat kidney diseases.
同型半胱氨酸（Hcy）是蛋氨酸代谢的中间产物。高同型半胱氨酸血症（HHcy）被定义为一种以血浆Hcy水平高于16μmol/L为特征的病症，其可由Hcy代谢异常引起。HHcy已被证实与心脑血管疾病、外周血管疾病、神经退行性疾病、糖尿病、妊娠高血压综合征、肝硬化和肾脏疾病有关。在本综述中，我们总结了HHcy与肾脏疾病之间的相关性。阐明HHcy在肾脏疾病中的作用可能为预防和治疗肾脏疾病提供新策略。
