Histamine Blood Test

Allergy (1 Biomarker)

Allergies are brought on by the immune system of the body overreacting or responding in an incorrect way to a typically harmless substance.

Foods, inhalants (such pollen and dust), pets, and even some medications can all be sources of allergens in our surroundings. The majority of allergic reactions are moderate, resulting in no more than a few bothersome or unattractive symptoms, but in some people, an allergic reaction can be fatal.

Normally, an allergic reaction happens seconds or minutes after being exposed to the allergen.

Histamine - Plasma

High amounts of histamine are present in allergy illnesses and mast cell disorders and play a critical role in the immunological response.

Mast cells, immune cells found mostly in the skin, lining of the intestine, the airways, and the bone marrow, produce histamine when activated. Mast cells play an important role in both the body's typical damage response and allergy reactions.

A multitude of allergic reaction symptoms are brought on by the release of histamine.
