One puzzle piece: These labs are not all that specific. With your symptoms and your saying you have bronchiectasis, have we ruled out Kartagener’s and adult-onset cystic fibrosis? Wegener’s may give a c-anca instead but these labs can be tricky. Of course Wegener’s if present is treatable I’d diagnosed, fatal if missed. Good luck.
