Overview:
Our ANCA Blood Test (Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Test) is a specialised diagnostic tool designed to detect the presence of ANCA antibodies in your blood. These antibodies are key indicators of certain autoimmune diseases, particularly types of vasculitis, which involve inflammation of the blood vessels. Early detection through the ANCA Blood Test enables timely and effective management of conditions such as Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) and Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA), enhancing your quality of life and preventing potential complications.
