Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Floaters in the eyes could be due to uveitis, which is a common presentation of autoimmune disorders.
2. C-ANCA, P-ANCA, rheumatic factor etc are all autoimmune antibodies.
3. Presence of these antibodies will support the diagnosis. However, confirmation with the set criteria, which includes both laboratory and clinical data is necessary to rule out any auto immune disorders like SLE or rheumatoid arthritis.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
