Abstract
The utility of ANCA in the classification, diagnosis and monitoring of disease is controversial. ANCA determination is recommended at regular intervals during follow-up because an increase in these autoantibodies detected by IFI and ELISA anticipates disease reactivation in 58% and 75% of patients, respectively.
