What is ANCA-PR3 (c-ANCA)?

This blood test identifies anti-proteinase 3 (PR3) antibodies, also known as c-ANCA. These autoantibodies are markers that can help diagnose certain autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks healthy tissues, particularly blood vessels.

Why is this test important?

ANCA-PR3 antibodies are strongly associated with Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA), a severe form of vasculitis. This test is crucial for diagnosing GPA, differentiating it from other conditions, and monitoring treatment effectiveness.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
