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.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
