Ordering Recommendation

Comprehensive panel for the evaluation of ANCA-associated vasculitis. For the preferred first-line panel, see Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Antibody and Serine Proteinase 3 (PR3) Antibody with Reflex to Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody, IgG by IFA (3003746).

For evaluation of autoimmune liver disease, use in conjunction with Autoimmune Liver Disease Reflexive Panel (3002479).
