About Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies
What are anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies?
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are antibodies which target and attack the body’s own neutrophils (white blood cells), causing vascular inflammation.
Antibodies are proteins typically produced by the immune system to target and protect against harmful entities. In rare cases the immune system can malfunction, producing antibodies which target and attack the body’s own cells. Disorders caused by this process are called autoimmune diseases and can be potentially life-threatening.
Small vessel vasculitis disorders are associated with the presence of ANCAs.
Why take the test?
This test checks for the presence of ANCAs. It is typically used to diagnose autoimmune condition ANCA vasculitis.
