Abstract

The relatively new test (European Patent granted 2022) for determining the total histamine degradation capacity [Totale Histamin Abbau Kapazität / Total Histamine Degrading Capacity] THAK®/THDC of a serum sample has been compared in various settings with the individual clinical history and the levels of histamine in stool. The measurement of THAK can be carried out regardless of the current status of the patient (independent of any acute symptoms), therefore THAK test is a useful and very reliable instrument for supporting the diagnosing histamine intolerance. As soon as the THAK falls below a threshold value the patient is most likely to suffer from HIT, even if the intensity of the symptoms is low. Low THAK values correspond with a significant increase of histamine in stool.Results were evaluated according to both age and gender, . no difference between the sexes were found. However, there is a noticeable dependency on age, although this is not diagnostically relevant. THAK® is a registered trademark of Frost Diagnostika.

期刊介绍： The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field. The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology. The journal has been particularly active in: -Analytical techniques for biological molecules- Aptamer selection and utilization- Biosensors- Chromatography- Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis- Electrochemical methods- Electrophoresis- Enzyme characterization methods- Immunological approaches- Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids- Metabolomics- Nano level techniques- Optical spectroscopy in all its forms. The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
