Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at increased atherothrombotic risk. Preliminary findings have suggested that COPD patients may have increased plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), a cardiovascular risk factor often caused by a poor B vitamin status, but plasma levels of such vitamins were not measured. The aim of this study was to investigate hyperhomocysteinaemia in COPD and to determine whether it may be secondary to poor plasma concentrations of B vitamins.
