Test Code ANCA Anti Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody, IFA

Important Note

If the ANCA is positive, an Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody Titer (CPT: 86256) will be performed at an additional charge. If the pattern is reported as P-ANCA or C-ANCA, a Myeloperoxidase Antibody (CPT: 83516) and a Proteinase 3 Antibody  (CPT: 83516) will be performed at MML at an additional charge(s).  If a patient is known to be positive for P-ANCA or C-ANCA, then another ANCA, IFA is not appropriate and the patient should be followed with the appropriate immunoassay (MYL and/or PR3).
