Mast cell activation syndromes: definition and classification
02/19/13 at 13:47:31
 
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/all.12126/full#all12126-tbl-0004

The recent consensus proposal is that a minimal increase in tryptase to plus 20% of baseline plus absolute 2 ng/ml would meet the definition of MCA [27]. For example, if the baseline tryptase level was 5 ng/ml, an increase to 10 ng/ml is suggestive of MCA [1(20%) + 2(absolute) = every value above 8 (5 + 3) ng/ml].

Hi Peter,

This is an excellent article and brand new!  Thanks for posting it!

I really like that it has concise information about symptoms, differential diagnosis, co-morbidities, lab assessments, and more.

I wonder if this should be included in the Getting Started section for those just beginning to figure out their possible problems.
