Service Providers for P-ANCA
The P-ANCA test detects autoantibodies linked to autoimmune diseases like vasculitis or inflammatory bowel disease. Preparation typically involves no specific steps, though fasting may be required in some cases. During the test, a blood sample is drawn. Risks include mild discomfort, bruising, or infection at the needle site. After the test, no special care is necessary. Results indicate the presence of P-ANCA, suggesting an autoimmune disorder. A positive result requires further investigation, as conditions like ulcerative colitis or rheumatoid arthritis may influence the outcome.
