What is Tryptase?

An enzyme released by mast cells. Used to evaluate mast cell disorders and severe allergic reactions.

Tryptase Reference Range

These are the typical adult reference ranges used by major US labs. Your report will include the specific range used by the lab that processed your sample.

PopulationRange
age 18+0.000 – 11.5 ng/mL

Reference ranges are educational. Always interpret your result with the specific range printed on your lab report and discuss anything outside the range with a clinician.

What your Tryptase result may mean

Higher than range
