Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 336))

Summary

One thousand sera, not previously tested for ANCA, were assayed for C-ANCA and anti-a-granule antibody. There was low concordance (23%) between the two assays in terms of positivity. Each assay gave a positive predictive value for systemic vasculitis (excluding SLE and other connective-tissue diseases) of not more than 20%.
