HISTAMINE

The HISTAMINE home test measures circulating histamine levels and related markers to help identify histamine intolerance or excessive histamine release that can contribute to symptoms such as flushing, hives, headaches, gastrointestinal upset and nasal congestion. The service includes professional sample collection at your home anywhere in Dubai and the UAE, laboratory analysis using validated methods, and a clear report of results to support clinical interpretation and management.

This test is useful for people experiencing recurrent unexplained allergic-type symptoms, chronic urticaria, food-related reactions, or digestive disturbances where histamine imbalance is suspected. Results can guide dietary changes, avoidance of high-histamine foods, medication review (including antihistamines and DAO supplements) and follow-up with a physician or dietitian in the UAE for personalised treatment plans.
