Histamine Test Enhanced

A histamine test (HT) is a method for diagnosing allergic reactions. It is based on the introduction into the body of a small amount of histamine, a substance that causes allergic reactions.

A histamine test can be carried out in two ways:

1. A typical histamine test: a small amount of histamine is injected into the body, after which the doctor observes the body’s reaction. If a patient is allergic to histamine, their body will react to it, such as a rash or itching.

2. Enhanced histamine test or maximum histamine test, or key test: in this case, a higher dose of histamine is administered. This method is used to more accurately diagnose histamine allergies.

However, it should be noted that the histamine test is not an accurate method for diagnosing allergies. It can be useful in determining the presence of a histamine allergy and can be used to diagnose other allergic reactions, but it does not always accurately determine the cause of the allergy.

Histamine test (H.-P.), enhanced or Maximum histamine test (MHT) is a method for determining the function of the thyroid gland (TG). It is based on identifying the ability of the gland to produce hormones in response to the introduction of substances that stimulate the production of thyroid hormones.

The main role of the thyroid gland is to regulate the rate of basic metabolism and the functioning of the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous and digestive systems. If the thyroid gland does not function properly, metabolism is disrupted, the body's performance decreases, and the risk of developing serious diseases increases. Therefore, testing the thyroid gland is an important step in the process of diagnosing many diseases. And one of the most accurate methods is gismedation. - History of occurrence Initially, a diagnostic test called MHD was carried out solely for the purpose of detecting thyroiditis. This method was first described by the American gynecologist and surgeon J. Roanham in 1940. However, 26 years later, when examining a patient suffering from mastopathy with atrophic changes in the mammary gland, he was able to detect thyroid dysfunction in this patient. As is known, with hypothyroidism, only the size of the brush border of C-type cells changes, which leads to the formation of intraductal micronodules, the so-called papillae in the gland lobule. Later it turned out that in the pathological condition of the follicular apparatus, prolactin is produced, the excess of which increases the synthesis of the male hormone - testosterone. During the study, a small amount of antibodies to thyroglobulin was also found, which indicates the presence of defects in the structure of the organ. The results of the study interested specialists all over the world. Their use has shown high accuracy and information content relative to other methods of diagnosing diseases associated with thyroid pathologies: visual examination; palpation (palpation); blood analysis; Ultrasound of the thyroid gland; radiography.
