Part 1 of this series went into histamine biology and management deeply. In this follow-up CE we will look more closely at the spectrum of mast cell disorders ranging from major pathologies in the mastocytosis family through all the functional mast cell activation syndromes. Causes, aggravations, therapies (natural and pharmacologic), and management will be addressed.
Objectives:
⭑ Define Mast Cell Disorders in the spectrum from “Activation Syndromes to Mastocytosis”
⭑ Review mast cell biology
⭑ Describe the differential diagnosis in mastocytosis
⭑ Define the common triggers of mast cell activation
