C-ANCA Test 14.65(Positive)
My C- ANCA is 14.65(Positive) and P-ANCA is 1.33(Negative) .My anti TB treatment is going on from last 4 months few days back blood came with cough. I don't have any other symptom. AFB sputum and TB culture test is also negative. Initially my doctor started TB medication by just looking at the CECT chest and no sputum test. Recently I did chest x ray and ct scan doctor said lymphnodes size has reduced but infection has spread in lungs. What does positive C - ANCA suggest can anyone please tell me?

Attach your baseline and recent images for comparison. You have to see clinically also, whether ur appetite have improved or u r developing new symptoms/not getting better off baseline symptoms will warrant further evaluation for vasculitis. Regarding c anca it may be positive in tb also. Better to repeat after att course is done.
