ANCA dual: Two Targets, One Powerful Diagnostic Tool for ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are key biomarkers in the diagnosis of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), a group of rare but potentially life-threatening autoimmune diseases. They can also have clinical and diagnostic value in certain non-AAV conditions. Early and accurate detection of ANCA is critical for initiating treatment promptly and improving long-term outcomes.
