Anti CCP(ACCP)

The Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) test is a blood test used to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anti-CCP antibodies target cyclic citrullinated peptides in the body, which are often present in people with RA.

Key points about the Anti-CCP test:

• Early RA Detection: High levels of Anti-CCP antibodies are a strong indicator of RA and can appear even before symptoms develop.
• Distinguishing RA: Helps differentiate RA from other forms of arthritis.
• Predictive Value: Higher levels of Anti-CCP can be associated with more severe RA progression.

Doctors may order an Anti-CCP test along with other markers, such as the rheumatoid factor (RF), to confirm an RA diagnosis.
