Potential interference by antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies in myeloperoxidase immunoassays

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) are known to exist in patients with diseases characterized by primary systematic vasculitis, such as Wegener granulomatosis, microscopic poryangjitis, and ChurgStrauss syndrome, and in those with idiopathic pauci-immune necrotizing crescentic glomeru...

Description
Summary:	Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) are known to exist in patients with diseases characterized by primary systematic vasculitis, such as Wegener granulomatosis, microscopic poryangjitis, and ChurgStrauss syndrome, and in those with idiopathic pauci-immune necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis (2). All authors confirmed they have contributed to the intellectual content of this paper and have met the following 3 requirements: (a) significant contributions to the conception and design, acquisition of data or analysis, and interpretation of data; (b) drafting or revising the article for intellectual content; and (c) final approval of the published article.
