What is Methylhistamine, Urine?
This urine test measures the amount of methylhistamine, a substance produced when your body breaks down histamine. It helps investigate conditions where there might be an excessive release of histamine.
Why is this test important?
Elevated methylhistamine levels can indicate conditions like mastocytosis, a rare disorder involving too many mast cells, or severe allergic reactions. It aids in diagnosis and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.
How to Prepare
This test typically requires a 24-hour urine collection. You may also need to avoid certain foods (e.g., cheese, fermented products) and medications for a period before and during the collection. Follow your doctor's specific instructions.
