Three types of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - primary, secondary and idiopathic

Mast cells are important cells in our immune systems that help us fight off sickness, infections, and allergies. Although these cells are vital to protecting our bodies, some peoples’ mast cells can be too active for no good reason. In these cases, the mast cells might cause more harm than good. W...

MCAS recap!
--
Over the past weeks, we have been posting content about Mast Cell Activation Syndrome to educate our followers on its causes, symptoms, and treatment! We have an opportunity to participate in a clinical trial of a new MCAS treatment. MCAS is a common, manageable condition. The range of symptoms is vast, ranging from headache to skin rash, to pain. Treatment varies according to symptoms. It is important to see a doctor that is familiar with the condition and its criteria for diagnosis.

What are the symptoms of MCAS?
--
MCAS symptoms vary widely—from skin issues to muscle pain. Some symptoms may be minor, but others can be serious, like anaphylaxis, which can be a life-threatening allergic response. The good news is, our understanding of MCAS is improving and management techniques are advancing. Most cases of MCAS are very manageable.

What are mast cells?
--
Mast cells are important immunological cells that orchestrate allergic reactions. In cases of MCAS, mast cells become overactive and they release excessive amounts of chemicals into the bloodstream. This causes a range of allergic symptoms ranging from itching to diffuse pain.

How do we test new medicines before they are released to the public?
--
The process is called clinical trials. In order to learn if a drug is safe and effective, clinical trials are held with human subjects. Participation in a new drug study can be an exciting experience especially when it results in a decrease or elimination of your symptoms. Before participating, it is important that the patient understands all the potential benefits and risks of the trial. Obtaining “informed consent” is the process of fully educating the patient about the clinical trial so that they are able to make an educated choice on whether they wish to participate.
