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 Reflexive Panel (3002479).

Reference Interval

Test Number
 Components
 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
Positive 26 AU/mL or greater

  Serine Proteinase 3, IgG
Negative 19 AU/mL or less
Equivocal 20-25 AU/mL
Positive 26 AU/mL or greater

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.

Compliance Category

FDA

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.
