At IntroLab in Belgrade, you can schedule a Diamine Oxidase (DAO) test, which is crucial for understanding health issues related to histamine. Learn how we can help you achieve an accurate diagnosis and improve your health.

What is Diamine Oxidase (DAO)?

Diamine Oxidase (DAO) is an enzyme with a crucial role in the body, responsible for breaking down histamine. Histamine is a naturally occurring bioactive substance that regulates immune response, blood pressure, and digestion. When DAO levels fall below optimal, histamine can accumulate, leading to various symptoms and discomfort. Understanding DAO and its levels in the body is essential for diagnosing and treating histamine-related conditions, helping patients better manage their health and quality of life.

When is the test recommended?

The Diamine Oxidase (DAO) analysis is useful for:

• Before starting treatments that affect histamine
• Patients with histamine intolerance or allergic symptoms
• Monitoring the effectiveness of histamine regulation therapy

This test is crucial for diagnosing and properly managing histamine-related conditions, ensuring a personalized therapeutic approach and improving patient health.

What preparation is needed?

No special preparation is required for the test. However, it is important to inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may affect the test results.
