This study found that the ratios of acute/baseline levels of urinary mediator metabolites in MCAS patients were around 1.3 when there was a 20% plus 2 ng/mL increase in serum tryptase. This suggests that an acute increase of 1.3 or higher in these mediators can be useful for confirming a diagnosis of MCAS.
BACKGROUND: One requirement for diagnosing mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is an increase, above an established baseline level, in serum tryptase by 20% plus 2 ng/mL. However, there is no consensus of what constitutes excretion of a substantial increase in metabolites from prostaglandin D2, histamine, or leukotriene E4 in MCAS. OBJECTIVE: Ratios of acute/baseline levels for each urinary metabolite that accompanied tryptase increases of 20% plus 2 ng/mL were determined. METHODS: Mayo Clinic databases of patients with systemic mastocytosis with or without MCAS were reviewed. Patients with the requisite increase in serum tryptase during MCAS were examined for those who also had acute/baseline measurements of urinary mediator metabolite(s). RESULTS: Ratios of acute/baseline levels for tryptase and for each urinary metabolite were calculated. For all patients, the average acute/baseline ratio (SD) for tryptase was 4.88 (3.77). Average ratios of urinary mediator metabolites were: leukotriene E4: 35.98 (50.59), 2,3-dinor-11b-prostaglandin F2a: 7.28 (6.89), and N-methyl histamine: 3.2 (2.31). The lowest acuteebaseline ratios for each of the three metabolites accompanying a tryptase increase of 20% plus 2 ng/mL were similar, with values of about 1.3. CONCLUSIONS: To the author's knowledge, this is the largest series of mast cell mediator metabolite measurements during episodes of MCAS that were verified by the requisite tryptase increase above baseline. Unexpectedly, leukotriene E4 showed the greatest average increase. Acute/baseline increase of 1.3 or greater in any of these mediators could be useful for corroborating a diagnosis of MCAS. & COPY; 2023 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract 2023;11:2542-6)
