Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are autoantibodies formed against parts of types of white blood cell known as neutrophils and monocytes. ANCA testing is usually undertaken if rare disorders known as Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyangiitis are suspected.
This confidential blood assay for Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies is offered at more than thirty two private outpatient departments across England, Scotland and Wales.
Included in each test for Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies are a Doctors Referral, all Phlebotomy fees (your blood taken at a Private Hospital), all laboratory fees and includes our GP comments.
