LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Neutrophil cytoplasmic Ab panel. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Ser.

When is it used?

  • Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
  • May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
  • Status: ACTIVE
  • Order vs observation: Order
  • Panel type: Panel
  • Method: IF

What it does not mean

  • The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

Neutrophil cytoplasmic Ab panel - Serum by Immunofluorescence
Neutrophil cytoplasmic Ab panel
This panel contains quantitative and ordinal results for the detection of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) levels in serum by immunofluorescence methods. ANCAs are a group of auto-antibodies directed against antigens in the cytoplasm of neutrophil granulocytes and monocytes. They are associated with a number of autoimmune disorders, including systemic vasculitis. This test may be performed to monitor therapy with mycophenolate mofetil (trade namesCellCept, Myfortic), an immunosuppressive agent used in organ transplantation.
