An antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) test is a blood test that detects ANCAs in your blood. ANCAs are proteins made by the immune system that mistakenly target neutrophils, infection-fighting white blood cells. ANCA testing helps healthcare providers diagnose and monitor certain types of vasculitis and inflammatory bowel disease.

An ANCA test can show whether you have one or both types of antibodies. This information helps your health care provider diagnose which type of autoimmune vasculitis you have so you can get the right treatment.

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) are a group of autoantibodies, mainly of the IgG type, against antigens in the cytoplasm of neutrophils (the most common type of white blood cell) and monocytes.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies exhibiting pANCA or cANCA patterns are detected using indirect immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) techniques with a substrate of ethanol-fixed human neutrophils.

2017年6月26日 · ANCA是一種自體免疫抗體，專門對抗嗜中性球的溶脢體酵素 (neutrophil lysosomal enzymes)，出現通常與血管炎、腎絲球腎炎有關。 ANCA可區分為c-ANCA與p-ANCA二種亞型。 (1)c-ANCA：c-ANCA/Anti PR3抗體對韋格納肉芽腫 (Wegener’s granulomatosis, WG)有高度靈敏度與特異性，具極高之診斷價值，此外，c-ANCA在20~30%患有壞死性急性腎絲球腎炎 (Necrotizing glomerulonephritis)且無明顯腎外小血管炎的病人也會出現。

2024年8月11日 · ANCA testing helps diagnose and monitor small vessel vasculitis, but it has some limitations, too. There is a variant of ANCA called atypical ANCA, which is associated with drug-induced ANCA-associated vasculitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Evaluating patients with clinical features of ANCA-associated vasculitis, specifically granulomatosus with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis, and eosinophilic granulomatosus with polyangiitis.
