What is Tryptase, Serum?
The Tryptase serum test measures the level of tryptase, an enzyme released by mast cells, which are part of your immune system. Mast cells play a role in allergic reactions.
Why is this test important?
Elevated tryptase levels can indicate a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) or certain mast cell disorders, such as mastocytosis. This test helps confirm anaphylaxis after an event or diagnose underlying mast cell conditions.
