ANCA general, can you tell me what that means? I guess l am more interested in finding out what p-ANCA alone means.

Also what does an atypical p-ANCA mean? Does it mean without any specific antibodies?

Thanks so much for this, getting a step closer each time to understanding what all this actually means. The doctors just don't seem to think its a big deal, so l need to find out for myself.

Love this site and always have felt l could come and ask questions and have found out so much valuable information here that has made my life so much easier and you are a very knowledgable group of people. Don't know what l would do without this wonderful site.

Cheers Sue
