Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), is a condition in which mast cells become overly activated and release histamine, cytokines, and proteases inappropriately. This can lead to a variety of symptoms affecting multiple systems in the body including dermal issues, gastrointestinal symptoms,
respiratory symptoms, cardiovascular symptoms, and neurological symptoms.

Dr. Scoma is known for his work in the field of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. His approach to treating MCAS patients involves a combination of pharmacologic treatments, lifestyle and dietary change, as well as identification and avoidance of triggers. Dr. Scoma emphasizes a tailored approach to treatment, recognizing that MCAS can present differently in each patient and management plans should be customized based on individual symptom profiles and responses to therapy.
