The diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis is established by demonstrating mast cell infiltration in an involved tissue, particularly the bone marrow, using special staining techniques or flow cytometry, but the measurement of serum tryptase is a good screening test, since almost all patients with systemic mastocytosis have serum tryptase levels exceeding 20 ng/mL.[1]

  • Tryptase which is stored almost exclusively within the secretory granules of mast cells is the most widely used marker of mastocytosis.
  • In healthy individuals, serum tryptase levels range between <1 and 15 ng/mL; however, mast cell activation causes increased tryptase levels.
  • Additionally, tryptase levels in SM are assumed to correlate closely with the cumulative mast cell burden and multiorgan involvement
  • Chronically elevated plasma and urinary histamine levels and its metabolite N-methylhistamine
  • Elevated in a blood sample obtained immediately after attack
