Method Name

Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF)

Reporting Name

Cytoplasmic Neutrophilic Ab, S

Specimen Type

Serum


Additional Testing Requirements


When used for diagnosis, it is recommended that specific tests for proteinase 3 antibodies and myeloperoxidase antibodies be performed first, with additional testing for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies only needed in certain circumstances.(3) A testing algorithm based on these recommendations is available. For more information see VASC / Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Vasculitis Panel, Serum.

Interpretation

Positive results for proteinase 3 (PR3) antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) by antigen-specific immunoassay and cANCA by indirect immunofluorescence are consistent with the diagnosis of granulomatosus with polyangiitis, in patients with the appropriate clinical presentation.

 

Positive results for myeloperoxidase-ANCA by antigen-specific immunoassay and pANCA by indirect immunofluorescence are consistent with the diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis or eosinophilic granulomatosus with polyangiitis, in patients with the appropriate clinical presentation.
