Short Description

This assay is useful for evaluating patients suspected of having Autoimmune vasculitis, both Wegener's granulomatosis and Microscopic Polyangiitis. Autoantibodies to PR3 (c-ANCA) occur in patients with classical / limited end-organ involvement Wegener's granulomatosis. Antibodies to MPO (p-ANCA) occur predominantly in patients with Microscopic Polyangiitis. This assay also detects Atypical ANCA.

Detail Description

ANCA (ANTI NEUTROPHIL CYTOPLASMIC ANTIBODIES) POSITIVE REFLEX TO ANCA- MPO & ANCA-PR3 Test cost INR:5000 symptoms diagnosis

ANCA (Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies) are autoantibodies that attack neutrophils (white blood cells) and cause inflammation in small blood vessels. This condition is known as ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), which can lead to serious complications if left untreated. The ANCA test is used to diagnose AAV, and it can be positive for two types of ANCA: MPO and PR3.

Symptoms of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

The symptoms of AAV can vary depending on which organs are affected. Some common symptoms include:

• Joint pain and swelling
• Fatigue
• Fever
• Weight loss
• Shortness of breath
• Cough
• Blood in urine
• Abdominal pain

Diagnosis of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

If you have symptoms of AAV, your doctor may order an ANCA test to confirm the diagnosis. A positive ANCA test result means that you have ANCA antibodies in your blood, which suggests that you have AAV. Your doctor may also order other tests to determine which organs are affected and how severe the inflammation is.

ANCA-MPO & ANCA-PR3 Test Cost

The cost of an ANCA test can vary depending on where you get it done and whether you have insurance. At DNA Labs India, the cost of an ANCA-MPO & ANCA-PR3 test is INR 5000. This test is performed using advanced technology and provides accurate results.

Conclusion

If you have symptoms of ANCA-associated vasculitis, it is important to get tested as soon as possible. The ANCA-MPO & ANCA-PR3 test is a reliable way to diagnose this condition, and it is available at DNA Labs India for an affordable price. Don't wait to get tested and start treatment if needed.
