What is the p-ANCA Test?
The p-ANCA (Perinuclear Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies) test detects the presence of antibodies that target specific proteins in neutrophils (a type of white blood cell). These antibodies are associated with certain autoimmune diseases and vasculitis, a group of disorders that cause inflammation in blood vessels.

Purpose of the p-ANCA Test:

1. Diagnosing Autoimmune Diseases:
   Helps diagnose autoimmune conditions, particularly vasculitis and inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis.

2. Evaluating Inflammatory Disorders:
   Used to detect diseases that cause inflammation in the blood vessels and tissues, such as microscopic polyangiitis and Churg-Strauss syndrome.

3. Monitoring Disease Progression:
   Helps in assessing the severity and progression of autoimmune disorders over time, as well as monitoring the response to treatment.

When is the p-ANCA Test Recommended?

• Suspected Autoimmune Disease:
  For patients with symptoms like unexplained fatigue, weight loss, joint pain, or abnormal lab results indicating inflammation.

• Suspected Vasculitis:
  If vasculitis is suspected based on symptoms like chronic sinusitis, asthma, kidney issues, or nerve problems.

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease:
  In cases of ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease to help differentiate between these inflammatory bowel diseases.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (venipuncture).

Preparation for the Test:

• Fasting: No fasting is required for this test.
• Medications: Some medications may affect the test results. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking.

How the Test Works:

1. A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm.
2. The sample is tested in the laboratory to detect the presence of p-ANCA antibodies.
3. Results can indicate whether the antibodies are present and may help diagnose certain autoimmune diseases or vasculitis.
