ABSTRACT
Homocysteine participates in the methionine cycle in the body and is excreted by the kidneys. Its abnormal elevation increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease. Studies in recent years have shown that hyperhomocysteinemia is closely related to cerebral small vessel diseases and is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke and cognitive impairment. Because hyperhomocysteinemia is largely reversible, the significance of drug intervention in the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular disease has gradually been confirmed. This article reviews the relationship between homocysteine and cerebral small vessel diseases in order to provide a reference for the prevention of stroke and dementia.
ABSTRACT
More and more studies have found that diabetes is closely related to white matter hyperintensities. This article reviews the relationship between diabetes and white matter hyperintensities, the effect of white matter hyperintensities on cognitive impairment in patients with diabetes, and the relationship between the two and stroke.
