LOINC description : This panel contains qualitative results for neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and
quantitative results for saccharomyces cerevisiae IgA and IgG antibodies in serum
to help distinguish two forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): ulcerative colitis
(UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Patients with UC have been shown to have measurable
neutrophil specific antibodies whereas patients with CD often have antibodies directed
against Saccharomyces cerevisiae IgA and/or IgG isotypes.[PMID: 11515844];
