MPO Antibodies
PR3 Antibodies
C-ANCA and P-ANCA can be seen in ANCA associated vasculitis. The diagnosis should be confirmed histologically wherever possible.
MPO and PR3 antibodies are cascaded automatically by the Immunology laboratory as necessary on ANCA positive patients.

The Immunology laboratory provides this test routinely within normal working hours (09:00–17.30 Monday to Friday). A limited weekend service is offered for clinically urgent ANCA (MPO/PR3 only) and GBM requests; this is normally provided on Saturday only, however a Sunday-only service is provided on bank holiday weekends. A named consultant is required for all urgent requests.
Clinical advice is available from the Immunology Medical Team at Derriford Hospital
