Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies

Lancet, The, 2006
Much like other autoantibodies (eg, anti-double stranded DNA in systemic lupus erythematosus or antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies in Goodpasture's syndrome), antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) have provided doctors with a useful serological test to assist in diagnosis of small-vessel vasculitides, including Wegener's granulomatosis,

Testing for Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies

Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2001
The most common reason to request a test for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) is to diagnose Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyangiitis and to monitor inflammatory activity in these diseases. Several retrospective and prospective studies have suggested that the demonstration of ANCA lacks sensitivity and specificity, but these ...

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies in children

European Journal of Pediatrics, 1998
To define the diagnostic meaning of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) positivity in children, we analysed 1485 consecutive sera sent for routine immunological investigation to our department from January to August 1996. Using this large screening, we identified the most typical clinical disorders associated with ANCA in childhood.

The mystery of the antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1995
A NTINEUTROPHIL cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) were first reported in eight patients with segmental necrotizing glomerulonephritis and serologic evidence for acute Ross River virus infection, an arbovirus endemic in Australia that causes a febrile polyartbritis syndrome.’ Subsequently ANCAs were reported in patients with systemic vasculitis.’ Two major

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies

American Journal of Medicine, 1992
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) have been described as sensitive and specific markers for active Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). ANCA in WG produce a characteristic cytoplasmic staining pattern of neutrophils (c-ANCA) and are directed against proteinase 3 (Pr3), a serine protease from the azurophilic granules.
