Can ANCA be positive in a healthy person?
For that, they tested blood (sera) from 45 healthy adults and 41 patients with AAV, looking for IgM ANCAs using different methods. Results showed that both AAV patients in remission and healthy individuals were positive for IgM ANCAs, and both had comparable levels of these antibodies, which were low in both cases.Aug 13, 2019
