What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days the report can be obtained for the test Anti MPO Antibodies (Anti Myleoperoxidase Antibodies)- pANCA Test is typically within 3-5 business days. However, this turnaround time may vary depending on the specific laboratory or healthcare provider conducting the test.

What are the prerequisites for the test Anti MPO Antibodies (Anti Myleoperoxidase Antibodies)- pANCA Test

  • Blood sample
  • Doctor's order for the test
  • No special preparation required

What are the measure values for the test Anti MPO Antibodies (Anti Myleoperoxidase Antibodies)- pANCA Test

  • Normal: Less than 20 U/mL
  • Borderline: 20-30 U/mL
  • Positive: Greater than 30 U/mL

What does this test Anti MPO Antibodies (Anti Myleoperoxidase Antibodies)- pANCA Test identify?

  • This test identifies the presence of Anti MPO Antibodies, also known as Anti Myeloperoxidase Antibodies, in the blood.
  • Anti MPO Antibodies are autoantibodies that target myeloperoxidase, an enzyme found in neutrophils and monocytes.
  • Presence of Anti MPO Antibodies is associated with autoimmune conditions such as ANCA-associated vasculitis, particularly microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).
  • pANCA (perinuclear Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies) is a specific type of ANCA that targets myeloperoxidase, and this test is used to detect the presence of pANCA in the blood.
  • Results of this test can help diagnose and monitor autoimmune vasculitis and other related conditions.

Why is this test Anti MPO Antibodies (Anti Myleoperoxidase Antibodies)- pANCA Test taken?

The Anti MPO Antibodies (Anti Myeloperoxidase Antibodies)- pANCA Test is taken to diagnose and monitor autoimmune disorders such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). These disorders are characterized by inflammation of blood vessels, which can lead to damage in various organs of the body.

The test measures the levels of anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies in the blood. Myeloperoxidase is an enzyme found in neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. In autoimmune disorders, the immune system mistakenly produces antibodies against myeloperoxidase, leading to inflammation and tissue damage.

The presence of anti-MPO antibodies in the blood, along with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests, can help healthcare providers confirm a diagnosis of autoimmune vasculitis. Monitoring anti-MPO antibody levels over time can also help assess disease activity and response to treatment.
