Comparison of the net absorbance values of the PR3-ANCA reactivity with iHm5 and iPR3. In 71-80% of the samples, a higher PR3-ANCA recognition of iHm5 was documented. Additionally, in 19-27% of the patients, iHm5 and iPR3 were equally recognized. Very few patients displayed higher recognition of iPR3: 1 in the RAVE trial and 3 in the WGET. [When the confidence interval overlapped, the determinations were considered equal.
Positive for PR3-ANCA in at least one antigen-specific immunoassay (Finkielman et al. Am J Med. 2007)
Positive for PR3-ANCA in at least one antigen-specific immunoassay (Fussner et al. Arthritis Rheum 2016)].
