3. Role in follow-up
For ANCA positive patients at diagnosis of AAV: • Serial ANCA measurement in AAV patients without renal involvement: limited value
• In patients with renal involvement: clinical relapse is unlikely without rise in ANCA level a rise in ANCA level should warn the clinician for relapse
ANCA titer ~ clinical relaps

Conclusions: A strategy based on screening for ANCA with ELISA or FEIA (without prior IIF) is a valuable alternative to screening with IIF and confirming with ELISA or FEIA.
Ongoing multicentre international study
Untill revision: IIF as screening assay is ‘the best we have’

ANCAs valuable serological marker for diagnosis of AAV
International ANCA standardization and evidence based revision of international guidelines is necessary
Untill revision of international guidelines: screening by IIF
For positive IIF: quantitative PR3/MPO ELISA
ANCA titer follow up: restricted use
