Abstract:
:One thousand sera, not previously tested for ANCA, were assayed for C-ANCA and anti-alpha-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%.
