P-ANCA

P-ANCA

P-ANCA (Perinuclear Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody) is a blood test used to help evaluate certain autoimmune conditions, including some types of vasculitis and inflammatory bowel disease. It may be recommended when symptoms such as unexplained inflammation, digestive problems, or other systemic symptoms are present. A positive result can provide supportive information but does not confirm a specific condition on its own. Results should be interpreted along with symptoms and other laboratory findings.
