Relationship between hyperhomocysteinemia and coronary atherosclerotic cardiopathy
Objective To study relationship between hyperhomocysteinemia(HHCY) and coronary atherosclerotic cardiopathy(CHD).Methods Comparing results of homocysteine(HCY) between group of CHD patients and group of controlled health people by fluorescent polarization immunizing analysis.Results The homocysteine value of the CHD patient group was(18.63±4.16)μmol/L,higher than controlled group(11.9±4.18)μmol/L,with a signifcant difference between the two groups(P0.01).Conclusion HHCY has a close relation with CHD.HHCY extensively exists in the CHD patients.
We report on an otherwise healthy female, mother of two children, with severe decompensated liver cirrhosis due to an iron overload and Wilson's disease. The patient was considered heterozygote for hemochromatosis on the basis of the autosomal recessive inheritance for hemochromatosis, the frequency of the hemochromatosis gene, and the laboratory parameters defining her iron overload. The case is interesting because of the coincidence of Wilson's disease and excessive iron storage.
