Abstract Objective: To explore the significance of homocysteine, folic acid and uric acid in diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction. Methods: We selected 63 patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), 56 patients with vascular dementia (VaD), 40 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MIC), and 45 healthy individuals at same period as control. The levels of homocysteine, folic acid and uric acid were detected in each group. Results: ①The levels of homocysteine in AD group and VaD group were higher than those in MCI group and control group; ②The levels of folic acid in AD group, VaD group, MCI group were lower than those in control group; ③The levels of uric acid in AD group were lower than those in VaD group, MCI group and control group. Conclusion: High levels of homocysteine may be related with the pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction. Lower levels of folic acid are related with the cognitive dysfunction. The AD patients has lower levels of uric acid. Detecting homocysteine, folic acid and combinated with uric acid is helpful for the diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction.
