As a diagnostic tool, p-ANCA and c-ANCA have been very useful and over time have led to the renaming of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), Churg-Strauss syndrome, and microscopic polyangiitis as "ANCA-associated vasculitis," as they all are associated with different degrees to p- or c-ANCA positivity. Systemic vasculitis treatment and monitoring update, 2008 by Yazici, Yusuf / Bulletin of the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases Berthelot et al (22) showed that the activation of endothelial cells in patients with WG and microscopic polyangiitis could be induced by c-ANCA which is a marker autoantibody for WG.
