ANCA-MPO/P-ANCA Test
Anti-Myeloperoxidase Antibodies Test
Perinuclear Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Test
The ANCA-MPO/P-ANCA Test is a diagnostic blood test used to detect the presence of anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies and perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (P-ANCA) in the bloodstream. These antibodies are associated with autoimmune vasculitis, particularly diseases such as microscopic polyangiitis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
- The test is valuable for the diagnosis and monitoring of autoimmune vasculitic conditions.
- Positive results may prompt further testing and evaluation to determine the specific autoimmune condition present.
- Results should be interpreted by a rheumatologist or healthcare provider in the context of the patient's symptoms and medical history.
Test Parameters
1 - ANCA-MPO Antibodies
The test measures the concentration of anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies in the blood, indicating the potential for autoimmune vasculitis.
2 - P-ANCA
The test identifies the presence of perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, further aiding in the diagnosis of autoimmune vasculitic conditions.
Sample Collection
Blood samples are collected from the patient through standard venipuncture procedures.
Collection Method : Blood Collection
Turn Around Time : Results are typically available within a few days after the blood sample is collected.
Preparation
No specific preparation is usually required for this test. However, patients should follow any specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
This Test is Used For
- Diagnosis of autoimmune vasculitis
- Monitoring of autoimmune vasculitic conditions
Risks
The ANCA-MPO/P-ANCA Test is a low-risk procedure associated with standard blood collection.
- Patients may experience minor discomfort or bruising at the site of blood collection.

How our test process works!
Step 1
Vaccinated Phlebotomists
Only vaccinated phlebos are assigned orders
Step 2
Maintains Safety Precautions
Phlebo wears the mask,face shield and gloves & sanitizes himself before visiting the location
Step 3
Sample Collection
Vaccinated Phlebotomists collects from syringe in the barcoded vials
Step 4
Sample Storage
Vials are placed in a cooling container to maintain the temperature
Step 5
High Tech Facility
Lab ingests the samples into processing machines which are 100% automated
Step 6
Accurate Digital Reports
The reports are generated by the processing machines and clinically correlated by doctors
