When is the Anti Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) (IFA) with Reflex Testing for MPO & PR3 by EIA test recommended?
It is recommended: When symptoms of the disease such as fever, sinus pain, hearing loss, numbness, and chest pain appear. Depending upon the organ affected, there are different types of vasculitis conditions - such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (lungs, kidneys, and sinuses), microscopic polyangiitis (lungs, kidneys, nervous system, and skin), eosinophilic granulomatosis with the polyangiitis (skin and lungs), and polyarteritis nodosa (heart, kidneys, skin, and central nervous system).
What does it measure?
The Anti Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) (IFA) with Reflex Testing for MPO & PR3 by EIA test: Detects and analyzes the amount of these autoantibodies in the blood. These are the most common ANCAs, the autoantibodies that target the proteins myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase 3 (PR3). They are called pANCAs and cANCAs, respectively.Evaluates the presence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA-C) in the body responsible for causing autoimmune vasculitis. ANCA-C attacks proteinase-3 of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell), leading to inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels.Evaluates the presence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA-P) in the body that are responsible for causing autoimmune vasculitis. ANCA-P attacks myeloperoxidase of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell), leading to inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels.
