What this test is

This test measures the amount of tryptase in your blood. Tryptase is an enzyme stored in mast cells, which are part of the immune system. Higher levels can be seen during allergic reactions and in some mast cell disorders.

What it measures

  • Tryptase — Reflects the amount of this enzyme in the blood, which can rise during allergic reactions or with certain mast cell conditions.

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm, using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test to help investigate a severe allergic reaction, especially when the cause is unclear. It may also be used to help evaluate for mastocytosis or other mast cell disorders.

Preparation
