Hyperhomocysteinaemia is an independent cardiovascular risk factor which can induce vascular lesions, thus contributing to the early development of atherosclerosis. Low-dose folic acid supplementation reduces the pretreatment homocysteine plasma levels by 25-35%. Recent studies report that higher intravenous or oral administration of the active form of folic acid reduces the homocysteine plasma concentration by nearly 70%. The reduction could also be influenced by the thermolabile variant of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (tMTHFR) and by the dialysis modality.
