Test for Allergies, Histamine, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

MCAS is a condition in which the patient experiences repeated episodes of the symptoms of anaphylaxis – allergic symptoms such as hives, swelling, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing and severe diarrhea.

Histamine is most well-known for its involvement in allergic reactions; however, it also acts as a neurotransmitter like serotonin and dopamine. Histamine is a biologically active amine which is involved in immune responses, the regulation of the gut and acts as a neurotransmitter.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a condition where a patient may have a normal level of mast cells present, but these cells may be over-responsive or overreact to the body.

Symptoms are usually related to the excess and episodic release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells. If you have an allergy flare, you may see an elevated serum tryptase level.

Testing for MCAS, Histamine or allergies can be performed in males and females, children and adults with sensitivities, histaminic responses, allergies, and in mast cell activation syndrome.
