ANCA Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Extended Profile IgG Test
Comprehensive Autoimmune Vasculitis Testing
The ANCA Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Extended Profile IgG Test represents a sophisticated diagnostic approach for detecting autoimmune vasculitis disorders. This comprehensive panel evaluates six distinct antibodies that target neutrophil cytoplasmic components, providing rheumatologists with critical information for accurate diagnosis and management of systemic autoimmune conditions affecting blood vessels throughout the body.
What This Advanced Test Measures
Our extended ANCA profile utilizes Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) methodology to precisely detect and quantify the following antibodies:
- Anti Proteinase 3 (PR3) Antibody – Primary marker for Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
- Anti Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Antibody – Key indicator for Microscopic Polyangiitis
- Anti Lactoferrin Antibody – Associated with various autoimmune conditions
- Anti Elastase Antibody – Important for comprehensive vasculitis assessment
- Anti Cathepsin G Antibody – Additional marker for autoimmune profiling
- Anti BPI Antibody – Bactericidal Permeability Increasing Protein antibody
Who Should Consider ANCA Extended Profile Testing
This specialized test is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms suggestive of autoimmune vasculitis, including:
- Unexplained fever, fatigue, and weight loss
- Persistent sinusitis, nasal crusting, or nosebleeds
- Shortness of breath, coughing, or chest discomfort
- Kidney involvement with blood or protein in urine
- Skin rashes, ulcers, or palpable purpura
- Joint pain and swelling without clear cause
- Neurological symptoms like numbness or weakness
- Eye inflammation or vision changes
Clinical Benefits of Comprehensive ANCA Testing
Choosing our extended ANCA profile offers multiple advantages for accurate diagnosis and management:
- Early Detection – Identifies autoimmune conditions before significant organ damage occurs
- Differential Diagnosis – Helps distinguish between different types of vasculitis
- Treatment Guidance – Provides essential information for targeted therapy selection
- Disease Monitoring – Enables tracking of disease activity and treatment response
- Comprehensive Assessment – Evaluates multiple antibody targets for complete autoimmune profiling
Understanding Your Test Results
Your ANCA Extended Profile results will provide valuable insights into your autoimmune status:
- Positive PR3 Antibody – Strongly suggests Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
- Positive MPO Antibody – Indicates Microscopic Polyangiitis or related conditions
- Pattern Interpretation – Different antibody patterns help identify specific vasculitis types
- Quantitative Values – Antibody levels can correlate with disease activity
- Clinical Correlation – Results should be interpreted alongside clinical symptoms and other findings
Always discuss your results with your rheumatologist or healthcare provider for proper interpretation and treatment planning.
