ANCA or Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies confuse even the most seasoned doc! Closely associated with vasculitis, they can be buried in the long list of antibodies checked when getting a rheumatology consult and are often overlooked. What do they mean? When do we use them? And what about an "atypical ANCA?" UGH!! We aim to clear it all up in today's video!

I want to say thank you for these videos. They are very helpful because I can watch them multiple times, rewind, and take notes in a way that you can't really do in the moment in a doctor's office. I'm wondering if you've ever made a video about relapsing polychondritis in particular or about rheumatic conditions in general where there is no single associated blood test?

This was very interesting! Thank you! Do you have any video's that address what it might mean if you are ANCA positive but ANA negative? I sort of have this idea that ANA is supposed to be positive with most Rheumatological stuff. Thank you!

I tested positive for anca, but negative for the specific test. That was maybe 8 months ago, now I’m negative for anca and negative for both specific test as well. That was confusing to me. But I’m glad their negative.

Hello, Can you please answer a question for me? I year ago I had a positive ANCA test with atypical perinuclear staining with no antibodies detected. I was very sick with the same symptoms I am experiencing presently. Now, 1 year later I had a positive ANCA test with atypical perinuclear staining once again, but this time I tested positive for MPO antibodies. In some cases do the MPO antibodies take some time to show up on a blood test? In other words, early in the disease is it possible to not have developed the MPO antibodies. Also, it important to mention that both tests were run twice to confirm the results were accurate. Both times I had the ANCA test and also a separate test to confirm that the antibodies were present. I would be very grateful if you could help me understand why the antibodies took a year to develop. Thank you in advance
