About this test

The ANCA-C and ANCA-P test by IFA detects antibodies against neutrophils by their staining pattern. A c-ANCA (cytoplasmic) pattern suggests granulomatosis with polyangiitis, while a p-ANCA (perinuclear) pattern suggests microscopic polyangiitis, EGPA, or kidney vasculitis. Atypical p-ANCA may occur in ulcerative colitis and liver disease. Positive results are confirmed by PR3 and MPO testing.

Questions about this test

When should I get the ANCA-C & ANCA-P By IFA test?

You should get an ANCA-C and ANCA-P test by IFA if you have blood or protein in the urine, worsening kidney function, coughing up blood, chronic sinus problems or nosebleeds, skin rashes, numbness, or unexplained fever and weight loss. It is also recommended for suspected vasculitis, and sometimes for ulcerative colitis or autoimmune liver disease.

How should I prepare for the ANCA-C & ANCA-P By IFA test?

No special preparation or fasting is required for an ANCA-C and ANCA-P test by IFA. Inform your doctor about any steroids, immunosuppressants, rituximab, or plasma exchange, as these can lower antibody levels. Also mention medicines like hydralazine, propylthiouracil, or minocycline, and any known ANA positivity, as these can affect interpretation.

Do I require fasting for the ANCA-C & ANCA-P By IFA test?

No, fasting is not required for an ANCA-C and ANCA-P test by IFA. You can eat and drink normally before giving your sample, and the test can be done at any time of day. Inform your doctor about any immunosuppressive treatment or medicines like hydralazine, as these may affect the results.
