The ANCA – C (Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies – C) test detects the presence of antibodies associated with autoimmune vasculitis, particularly those targeting myeloperoxidase (MPO). This test is commonly used to help diagnose conditions such as Wegener’s granulomatosis and microscopic polyangiitis, which involve inflammation of blood vessels. Elevated levels of ANCA – C can indicate an autoimmune response that may lead to organ damage. The test is typically performed on a blood sample, and results are interpreted alongside clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests to guide treatment decisions.
