Anti Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Ab

Anti Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Ab


The ANCA blood test measures specific antibodies in your blood that may mistakenly attack healthy white blood cells. These antibodies are often associated with autoimmune conditions such as vasculitis, which can affect the blood vessels and organs. Doctors may recommend this test if you have symptoms like persistent sinus problems, unexplained kidney issues, breathing difficulties, or ongoing inflammation. Early detection can help guide further investigations and treatment decisions.
