Brief Details
What Is an Anti-CCP Antibody (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody) Test?
An Anti-CCP antibody test is a blood test that detects specific autoantibodies called anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in your bloodstream. These antibodies are produced when your immune system mistakenly attacks your body's own tissues.
This test uses a blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm. It primarily helps diagnose rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition that causes joint inflammation and damage.
Frequently asked questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about health tests, bookings, and reports.
There is no specific best time for the Anti-CCP test. Your antibody levels remain stable throughout the day, so you can take the test at any convenient time without affecting the accuracy of your test results.
No, fasting is not required for the Anti-CCP test. You can eat and drink normally before the test unless your doctor has ordered other tests simultaneously that require fasting.
Severe dehydration is unlikely to alter Anti-CCP test results. However, staying well-hydrated makes blood collection easier for the technician and ensures optimal sample quality for accurate testing.
No special dietary preparation is needed. However, avoid high-dose biotin supplements (> 5 mg/day) for at least 8 hours before testing, and inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you're taking.
A healthcare professional cleans your arm, ties an elastic band around your upper arm, inserts a sterile needle into a vein, and collects blood into a vial. Then the needle is removed and a bandage is applied. The process is quick and involves minimal discomfort.
The risks are minimal and similar to any routine blood test. You may experience slight pain during needle insertion, minor bruising at the site, or, rarely, light-headedness or minor infection risk.
Normal levels are considered negative when results are less than 17 U/mL. Positive results are 17 U/mL or higher. Always consult your doctor for the interpretation of your test results.
The Anti-CCP test is also known as the CCP Antibody test, the Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody test, the ACPA (Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibody) or simply the Anti-CCP test.
