MCAS and urticaria \u2013 a necessary classification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n



In recent years, the term MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) has become strongly present in the digital space.

At the same time, we observe that many people with urticaria prematurely classify their complaints in this context.

IMPORTANT NOTICE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urticaria is an independent disease with different causes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is It is not the same as MCAS. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there may be overlaps in individual symptoms, this does not mean that mast cell activation syndrome is automatically present.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our experience in urticaria consulting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many years of work with people with urticaria have shown that:

In most cases, there is No MCAS<\/strong> before.

However, those affected focus on this diagnosis at an early stage, often influenced by information from digital spaces.

In our workshop, we show how such content is created, what interests are behind it and how it is classified critically.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Premature Determination Can Be Problematic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A premature focus on MCAS can lead to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • other possible causes are not sufficiently clarified<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Medically Necessary Diagnostics<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Valuable time is lost<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    In some cases, we have experienced that serious diseases were detected late because the focus was too long on other diseases. We therefore consistently advise against pushing diagnostics in the direction of MCAS as long as no thorough clarification has been carried out.

    We hereby expressly distance ourselves from many content that is propagated in groups.

    In particular, however, that MCAS can be treated with GLP1 or that urticaria is merely a symptom of MCAS.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our approach <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We recommend<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Urticaria to be taken seriously as an independent disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Consistently carry out necessary medical examinations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Do not make diagnoses prematurely<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Only on this basis can it be decided whether further questions \u2013 towards MCAS \u2013 make sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Classification of information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      We see that different perspectives and interpretations develop in digital spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Not all of them are professionally secured or suitable for the individual situation.

      Our goal is to enable an independent classification and to prevent misdevelopments.

      If you only expect confirmation of your assumptions based on information from digital spaces, we will refuse advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      delimitation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      We are critical of the fact that in some cases highly simplified or insufficiently secured statements are disseminated in digital spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This includes, in particular, statements, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Urticaria is a symptom of MCAS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • or that certain treatment approaches are presented as generally effective without a sufficient technical basis for this<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        In our view, such a reduction is technically unsustainable and can significantly mislead those affected in their orientation. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
