    Reference notes
    When the only positive marker is pANCA, the interpretive comment on the report will read: "Suggestive of ulcerative colitis." When only one of ACCA, ALCA, AMCA, or gASCA is positive and pANCA is negative, the interpretive comment will read: "Suggestive of Crohn's disease. Pattern is not conclusive for disease behavior risk stratification." When only one of ACCA, ALCA, AMCA, or gASCA is positive and pANCA is positive, the interpretive comment will read: "Suggestive of inflammatory bowel disease. Pattern is not conclusive for any specific disease form." When any two of ACCA, ALCA, AMCA, or gASCA are positive and pANCA is positive or negative, the interpretive comment will read: "Suggestive of Crohn's disease with high risk of aggressive disease behavior (development of strictures or fistulae)." When any three or more of ACCA, ALCA, AMCA, or gASCA are positive and pANCA is positive or negative, the interpretive comment will read: "Suggestive of Crohn's disease with the very high risk of aggressive disease behavior (development of strictures or fistulae)." When all markers are negative, the interpretive comment on the report will read: "Pattern is not suggestive of inflammatory bowel disease."

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
