Overview
Laboratory tests that may be helpful for diagnosis of mast cell tumor include complete blood count, serum tryptase levels, plasma and urinary histamine levels, and coagulation profile.
Laboratory Findings
Diagnostic pathway of mastocytosis
Following flow chart illustrates the diagnostic pathway of mast cell tumor:[1]
Skin lesions or suggestive clinical features | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Normal complete blood count
Serum tryptase ≤ 100ng/ml | Abnormal complete blood cell count

Laboratory findings
- Tryptase which is stored almost exclusively within the secretory granules of mast cells is the most widely used marker of mastocytosis.
- In healthy individuals, serum tryptase levels range between <1 and 15 ng/mL; however, mast cell activation causes increased tryptase levels.
- Additionally, tryptase levels in SM are assumed to correlate closely with the cumulative mast cell burden and multiorgan involvement
- Plasma and urinary histamine
- Chronically elevated plasma and urinary histamine levels and its metabolite N-methylhistamine
- Elevated in a blood sample obtained immediately after attack
- Kinetics of blood clotting may be altered due to fibrinogenolytic and anticoagulant activities of tryptase and heparin respectively.[3]
- Molecular testing for Kit D816V mutation
- Liver function tests
- Renal function tests
