50+ booked in last 3 daysOverview
PR3-c-ANCA (proteinase 3-cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody) serum is a blood test that measures the presence of antibodies against a specific protein called proteinase 3 (PR3). PR3 is found in neutrophils, which are a type of white blood cell that plays an important role in the immune system. In the case of PR3-c-ANCA, these antibodies target and bind to PR3, causing damage to the neutrophils and leading to inflammation in the affected tissues. PR3-c-ANCA testing is commonly used in the diagnosis of certain autoimmune diseases, such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly known as Wegener's granulomatosis. In addition to GPA, PR3-c-ANCA testing may also be used to diagnose other forms of vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) and autoimmune disorders that involve the immune system attacking the body's own tissues.
