Answer D.

Pathology Review (USMLE: Step 1 Review Series)Pouchitis patients are more likely to have pANCA which tends to have higher titers. pANCA is not related to UC disease activity and persists after colectomy. It is not specific for UC occurring in 5-15% of Crohns disease patients and 43% of Crohns patients with UC features.
