Additional Technical Information
Ordering Recommendation

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 Evaluation with Reflex to Smooth Muscle Antibody (SMA), IgG by IFA (2007210).

 Reference Interval
  Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Ab, IgG < 1:20: Not significant
  Myeloperox Antibodies, IgG
Negative 19 AU/mL or less
Equivocal 20-25 AU/mL

Interpretive Data

 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.

No compliance statements are in use for this test.

Note

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.
