Disorders associated with mast cell activation range from relatively common IgE-mediated disease and chronic urticaria to rarer conditions such as mastocytosis or monoclonal mast cell activation disorder. Mast cell activation disorders can be mechanistically classified into primary (associated with abnormal ...
Mast cell activation syndromes MC activation syndrome (MCAS) may be diagnosed in some patients when the symptoms are systemic and MCAS criteria are fulfilled37,38,66,67 (see Table 1). MCAS can be defined as a disorder of MC activation with various causes all resulting in severe, recurrent, ...
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) MCAS is a chronic multisystem disorder with inflammatory and allergic themes, and is diagnosed mainly by a clinical presentation and laboratory evidence consistent with chronic mast cell activation in the absence of any other diseases better accounting for all of ...

Mast cell activation disease in general has long been thought to be rare. However, although SM and MCL as defined by the WHO criteria are truly rare, recent findings suggest MCAS is a fairly common disorder. Evidence has been presented for a causal involvement of pathologically active mast cel...

Mast cell activation disease (MCAD) is a term referring to a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by aberrant release of variable subsets of mast
Mast cell activation diseases (MCADs) are a collection of disorders that usually present with recurrent signs and symptoms of mast cell mediator release, such as flushing, abdominal cramps, and hypotension. A 2010 proposal for classification divides them into 3 categories: primary (clonal), secondar...
