Prostaglandin D2
Explanation: Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is a natural chemical made in the body from fatty acids. It plays important roles in inflammation, allergic reactions, sleep regulation, and controlling body temperature. PGD2 is produced mainly by immune cells and is involved in how the body responds to injury or allergens.
Test purpose:
- Help evaluate causes of allergic symptoms.
- Aid in diagnosing conditions like systemic mastocytosis or mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).
- Support investigation of unexplained flushing, low blood pressure, or other allergic-type reactions.
- Monitor prostaglandin-related disorders and treatment responses.
