Rheumatology Patient Education: ANCA-Associated Vasculitis

[@belenmora8644]

Thanks for the info, this is a great video. I'm a Spanish speaker and there isn't much information about vasculitis in Spanish or this clear at least. Never been happier for speaking English 😅

Any way to get a consultation from Dr. Eli Miloslavsky online?

Does being ANCA positive means you have vasculitis?

[@Cheesewyck]

They used to diagnose people that way but not anymore. It's just a higher suspicion. They use the positive cANCA or pANCA to lead towards the biopsy. The biopsy will determine the Vascultiis itself and the type you have. I have always tested negative for the ANCA, told that I don't have Vasculitis at all... that delayed the process for almost a year. Then with sudden kidney decline, they desperately did the biopsy and it confirmed that I had GPA/Wegener's Vasculitis even with a negative ANCA test. It's a tricky disease!
