MPO antibodies are also sometimes present in other autoimmune disorders including some forms of Lupus. When used in conjunction with other tests, MPO Antibodies can help differentiate between different types of autoimmune diseases. This test can also be used to monitor how well a person is responding to treatment.
This test is typically ordered when someone has symptoms which may indicate they are suffering from a form of vasculitis.
Turnaround for this test is typically 1-3 business days.
