I had C-KIT PCT test for mast cell and the results from Quest lab came in but they only say "FLEXTEST 1" and I called quest and they said they cannot tell me because the dr. has to, but the dr. is closed now and I want to know!!!

Maybe it's to confirm the C-kit. It has something to do with Mastocytosis or MCAS.
Did you try googling that?

Never mind I think it’s just lingo that quest uses or they just use a generalized term because they don’t want you to see results before the doctor sees them.
