Mast cell activation syndrome: A common yet underdiagnosed condition
Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is a relatively new but increasingly recognised condition caused by the excessive release of chemicals from mast cells. These immune cells play a role in allergic reactions and inflammation, but in MCAS, they become overactive, leading to a wide range of symptoms across different body systems. The condition is more common than previously thought and remains underdiagnosed due to its varied presentation.
