Blood test norms for kids could end diagnostic delays
NCT ID NCT05323188
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study measured normal tryptase levels in 402 children aged 0-18 to help doctors better diagnose mast cell disorders like mastocytosis and MCAS. Researchers used leftover blood from routine tests in children undergoing surgery. Knowing these normal ranges could reduce years of misdiagnosis and improve care for affected children.

- If successful, this could help doctors diagnose mast cell disorders in children more accurately and quickly using a simple blood test.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study that only establishes normal ranges, not a treatment trial. It may not directly improve patient outcomes.
