                                Studies have shown that low plasma histidine levels are correlated with an increase in inflammation and oxidative stress, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease. This deficiency can have wider implications, since histidine is a vital amino acid involved in protein synthesis, immune response, and the production of histamine.
