Preferred reflex panel for the workup of suspected vasculitis. For patients with a history of vasculitis, refer to Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody with Reflex to Titer and MPO/PR3 Antibodies (2002068).
For evaluation of autoimmune liver disease, use in conjunction with Autoimmune Liver Disease Reflexive Panel (3002479).

Neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (C-ANCA = granular cytoplasmic staining, P-ANCA = perinuclear staining) are found in the serum of over 90 percent of patients with certain necrotizing systemic vasculitides, and usually in less than 5 percent of patients with collagen vascular disease or arthritis. Approximately 90 percent of patients with a P-ANCA pattern by IFA have antibodies specific for MPO. Approximately 85 percent of patients with a C-ANCA pattern by IFA have antibodies specific for PR3.
FDA
Specimens are screened for ANCA, MPO and PR3. If the ANCA screen detects antibodies at a 1:20 dilution or greater, then a titer to end point will be added. Additional charges apply.
ANCA IFA is simultaneously tested on ethanol- and formalin-fixed slides to allow differentiation of C- and P-ANCA patterns.
