Homocysteine(Hcy) has attracted more and more attention in the medical field since it was found to be closely associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, kidney diseases, skeletal system diseases, and even mental illnesses.In recent years, the application of Hcy in patients with liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis has been taken more seriously by clinicians and researchers. This article reviews the recent research advances in the metabolic mechanism and pathophysiologic significance of Hcy in China and foreign countries and highlights the association of Hcy with liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis and its possible mechanism.
