What is Histamine?

Histamine is an organic nitrogen compound that plays a key role in immune reactions, especially in relation to allergies. Additionally, it regulates physiological functions in the stomach and acts as a neurotransmitter. Its presence in urine can indicate potential health issues.

When is Histamine in urine analyzed?

The analysis is typically recommended when there is suspicion of allergic reactions or other immune disorders. This test can help diagnose and manage allergic diseases, as well as monitor the effects of therapy.

When does a histamine allergy occur?

Histamine intolerance, often mistakenly called a “histamine allergy,” occurs when the body has difficulty breaking down histamine. This can lead to symptoms similar to allergic reactions, such as:

• Headaches
• Rashes
• Itching
• Gastrointestinal issues

This condition is usually associated with insufficient enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO) activity, which breaks down histamine.
