Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Antibodies details
What Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Antibodies shows
Myeloperoxidase antibodies (also called p-ANCA/MPO antibodies) are autoantibodies associated with certain forms of vasculitis, a group of conditions involving inflammation of blood vessels, most notably microscopic polyangiitis and some cases of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Churg-Strauss syndrome). These conditions can affect the kidneys, lungs, nerves, and other organs, so a positive result in someone with suggestive symptoms (like unexplained kidney problems, lung issues, or nerve symptoms) prompts further evaluation for an underlying vasculitis.
Tests that include Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Antibodies
This test measures antibodies against myeloperoxidase (MPO), a protein found in certain white blood cells. MPO antibodies are associated with some autoimmune vasculitis disorders and may help evaluate inflammation and damage affecting blood vessels and organs.
