🧪 Anti-CCP Antibodies — Advanced Testing for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) antibodies are highly specific markers for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This test helps detect early-stage or even pre-symptomatic RA, often before joint damage occurs.

A positive Anti-CCP test strongly supports a diagnosis of RA, especially when symptoms such as joint pain or stiffness are present. It’s more specific than Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and is commonly used in combination with RF and inflammatory markers like ESR or CRP.

Why it’s important:

• Helps confirm RA diagnosis

• Predicts more aggressive or erosive forms of RA

• Guides early treatment decisions to prevent joint damage
