Serum mast cell tryptase reference intervals in European populations.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article discusses the reference intervals for serum mast cell tryptase levels in European populations. The authors support the recently proposed normal range of 1-15 μg/L, which includes asymptomatic individuals with the hereditary alpha tryptasemia trait. They summarize reference interval studies from the perspective of laboratory medicine and provide additional sources that support the conclusions of the expert review. The authors also mention the importance of evaluating tryptase levels using each individual's own baseline tryptase. Overall, the article highlights the need for further research on a wider spectrum of international populations.
