What is Anti Neutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibody(ANCA)?

This test looks for ANCA antibodies in your blood, which are produced when your immune system mistakenly attacks certain proteins within your white blood cells. It's often used to investigate specific types of inflammation.

Why is this test important?

ANCA testing is vital for diagnosing and monitoring autoimmune conditions known as vasculitis, which cause inflammation of blood vessels. Examples include Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) and Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA).

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
