Jayne D et al. - Anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody testing has been of particular benefit in defining a subgroup of small-vessel vasculitides and facilitating their earlier diagnosis. The exclusion of vasculitis ‘mimics’ and secondary causes of vasculitis are components of diagnosis, which otherwise relies on the recognition of a compatible clinical presentation supported by specific laboratory or imaging tests and confirmatory histology.
