Addendum to the International Consensus Statement on testing and reporting of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. Quality control guidelines, comments, and recommendations for testing in other autoimmune diseases.
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) tests are used to diagnose and monitor inflammatory activity in Wegener granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis and its renal-limited variant (pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis), and Churg-Strauss syndrome. The International Consensus Statement on testing and reporting of ANCA states that ANCA are demonstrated most readily in these conditions...
متن کاملAntineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies: reporting and diagnostic strategies.
It was with great interest that we read the correspondence of Mahler and Fritzler on our recent European Vasculitis Study Group (EUVAS) study describing the performance of immunoassays for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV). In their letter, Mahler and Fritzler raise some interesting points, mainly related to (i) test result interpre...

متن کاملMyeloperoxidase-antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (MPO-ANCA) and Proteinase 3-ANCA without Immunofluorescent ANCA Found by Routine Clinical Testing.
OBJECTIVE Concurrent testing for serum antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) by indirect immunofluorescence (IF) and by antiproteinase 3 (PR3)/antimyeloperoxidase (MPO) antibody assays may identify patients with PR3-ANCA or MPO-ANCA despite a negative IF (IF-negative MPO/PR3-positive); however, the significance of this result is not clear. We sought to determine whether IF-negative, MPO/...
