The basis of the disease is the extensive spread of fat cells in the tissues of the body, where the skin belongs. Adults - both women and men are susceptible to mastocytosis equally. Children under the two-year-old age, this diagnosis is most often in 75% of cases out of 100. The mastocytosis appeared in the child, as a rule, disappears without a trace to 11-13 years old, and it is not necessary to treat it. Those who faced the disease in a mature age were lucky less: serious system forms of mastocytosis (namely, it is sometimes developing in adults) on their own «Spass».
Why mastocyitosis occurs
The causes of the disease are still not clarified. Moreover, the question of how precisely the maskitosis is developing, scientists will not answer either. True, the assumption that the activity of the fat cells increases due to the specific damage to chromosomes, that is, the disease is the hereditary factor. That's just the majority of sick mastocytosis such cases have been observed in the family, so the question of the occurrence of the alend remains open.
Forms of the disease
To confirm the diagnosis «Mastocytosis» The doctor studies the clinical picture of skin lesions. First of all, the test Darya-Unnune is carried out, which is irritating the patient site to determine whether there will be there in response to the mechanical effects of bubbles or not. With a positive reaction and single mastocytosis, additional research does not conduct. With a multiple Mastocytian, the doctor will continue to examine the patient.
In the blood of a patient suffering from mastocytosis, a high level of fat cells, tryptase and histamine (their livelihoods) detect.
In some cases, the biopsy is carried out by suspicious fabrics and histological analysis Soskob. If the doctor assumes that the course of the disease affected the state of the internal organs of a person, he prescribes X-ray, ultrasound and endoscopic studies.
Treatment of Mastocytosis
Due to the lack of data on factors causing this disease, specific methods of its treatment were not created, and the patient's condition is adjusted using symptomatic therapy. The main purpose of treatment is to reduce the activity of the fat cells. To do this, the patient is prescribed:
- Antiallergic drugs: Tueva, Diazoline, Supratin, and others.
- Preparations, active substances that stabilize the tone of the malicious cell membranes.
- PUVA-therapy, if the reception of antihistamines does not bring the expected result. This procedure allows you to achieve a significant reduction in the number of spots on the skin. For this, there are 25 sessions with a single dose of up to 5 J / cm?.
- The system form of the disease is suppressed by cytostatics, and in the fight against bullous mastocytosis, corticosteroids have proven well.
- Thoroughly affected by the spleen can be removed. Sometimes, individual major mastocytes are cut out by surgical intervention.
Mastocytosis and traditional medicine
Our site is divided with its readers with useful folk recipes to improve the condition of the skin affected by mastocytosis:

Forecast of the disease and its prevention
As already noted, mastocytosis, which appeared in infancy, in 95% of cases he passes independently. The remaining forms of skin mastocytosis, although they require some correction, the patient's quality and life expectancy do not affect. Systeming Mastocytosis, struck bone marrow, has a very unfavorable forecast.
There are no specific measures for the prevention of this disease, because the reasons for its development have not yet been clarified. Relative precautions can be called moderate stay in the sun, preventing strong cooling or overheating, reasonable medication. Excessive insolation, aggressive impact of low or high temperatures, the toxic substances of medicines can provoke the development of increased activity of obese cells and, as a result, the appearance of mastocytosis.
