WHAT IS MCAS presented by Dr. David Saperstein.
MCAS) Mast cell activation syndrome is a condition where the allergic system goes haywire. This occurs in many patients with EDS, POTS, and Long COVID. Individuals with MCAS are prone to unpredictable rashes, hives, or skin sensitivities.
Mast cells release histamine and other chemicals that can affect a person’s immune system. MCAS can be hard to diagnose. There are blood and urine tests, but these are frequently normal. The symptoms of MCAS can often be brought under control through the use of antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and other medications.
Dr. Saperstein worked with a group of mast cell activation specialists, in an effort led by Dr. Lawrence Afrin to propose new diagnostic criteria to update a Diagnosis Journal first published on January 22, 2014. This journal is called Diagnosis of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: a Global “Consensus-2”. It is a must-read for all neurologists.
