Utility of serological markers in inflammatory bowel diseases: Gadget or magic? [PDF]

, 2007
The panel of serologic markers for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is rapidly expanding. Although anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) and atypical perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (P-ANCA) remain the most widely ...

Anti-neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody in Behçet's Disease

International Journal of Biomedical Science, 2006
Anti neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) is strongly associated with some vasculitic disorders. Behçet’s disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. In this study, ANCA was found to be positive in 8 out of 66 patients (10.2 %) with BD by combination testing consisting of immunofluorescence and ELISA [one patient showed an atypical ...

Multiple renal infarctions in a patient caused by granulomatosis with polyangiitis

Journal of International Medical Research, 2020
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a small-vessel vasculitis that is highly associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. GPA carries an increased risk of organ infarction, but renal infarction is rare.
