What is ANCA-MPO (p-ANCA)?
This blood test detects anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) antibodies, also known as p-ANCA. These are autoantibodies, meaning your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body's proteins, and their presence can indicate certain autoimmune conditions.
Why is this test important?
ANCA-MPO antibodies are primarily associated with specific types of vasculitis, which are inflammatory diseases of the blood vessels, such as microscopic polyangiitis. This test aids in diagnosing these conditions and monitoring disease activity.
How to Prepare
