About this test
ANCA-associated vasculitis and anti-GBM disease both attack the small vessels of the kidney and lung, and both can destroy kidney function within weeks. These antibodies are the fastest route to the diagnosis, which is why the request is usually urgent.
What it measures
- c-ANCA (PR3) and p-ANCA (MPO)
- Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
