HelpTest Code LAB0210690 Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Vasculitis Panel, Serum
Additional Codes
| Mayo Test ID |
|---|
| VASC |
Performing Laboratory
Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester
Useful For
Evaluating patients with clinical features of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, specifically granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis, and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis
Testing Algorithm
If either the myeloperoxidase antibody or proteinase 3 antibody result is greater than or equal to 0.4 U, then cytoplasmic neutrophilic antibody testing will be performed at an additional charge.

Reference Values
MYELOPEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES, IgG
<0.4 U (negative)
0.4-0.9 U (equivocal)
≥1.0 U (positive)
Reference values apply to all ages.
PROTEINASE 3 ANTIBODIES, IgG
<0.4 U (negative)
0.4-0.9 U (equivocal)
≥1.0 U (positive)
Reference values apply to all ages.
Interpretation
Positive results for proteinase 3 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) by antigen-specific immunoassay and cytoplasmic ANCA by indirect immunofluorescence are consistent with the diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis, in patients with the appropriate clinical presentation.
Positive results for myeloperoxidase-ANCA by antigen-specific immunoassay and perinuclear ANCA by indirect immunofluorescence are consistent with the diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis or eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, in patients with the appropriate clinical presentation.
