ANCA ANTI NEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC ANTIBODIES POSITIVE REFLEX TO ANCA- MPO and ANCA-PR3 Test
Are you experiencing symptoms that may be related to autoimmune diseases? The ANCA ANTI NEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC ANTIBODIES POSITIVE REFLEX TO ANCA- MPO and ANCA-PR3 Test offered by DNA Labs UAE can provide valuable insights into your health.
Test Details
The ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) test is designed to detect the presence of autoantibodies that target proteins within neutrophils. These antibodies are commonly associated with autoimmune diseases such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA).
When you undergo the ANCA ANTI NEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC ANTIBODIES POSITIVE REFLEX TO ANCA- MPO and ANCA-PR3 Test, your blood sample will be analyzed to determine if ANCA antibodies are present. If the initial ANCA test is positive, further testing will be done to identify the specific type of ANCA present.
The two most common types of ANCA are ANCA-MPO (myeloperoxidase) and ANCA-PR3 (proteinase 3). ANCA-MPO antibodies target the MPO enzyme found in neutrophils and are associated with MPA and EGPA. ANCA-PR3 antibodies target the PR3 enzyme found in neutrophils and are associated with GPA.
It’s important to note that a positive ANCA test does not definitively diagnose a specific autoimmune disease. Clinical correlation, along with other laboratory and imaging tests, is necessary for a proper diagnosis. However, the reflex testing for ANCA-MPO and ANCA-PR3 can provide valuable information that aids in the diagnosis and management of underlying autoimmune diseases.
