Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease which affects joints. Patients are categorized basis phase of disease i.e., early and those with clinical manifestations (joint erosion, interstitial lung disease, or cardiovascular). Delayed diagnosis of RA is associated with joint disease and poor outcomes.
Anti CCP antibodies are useful in early diagnosis of patients suspected of Rheumatoid arthritis. False positive results are uncommon as compared to RF. A subset of patients called seronegative Rheumatoid arthritis will be negative for RF & Anti CCP antibodies, they can be diagnosed clinically
The CCP Antibody serum test measures the presence of CCP antibodies in the blood. These CCP antibodies are a type of autoantibodies that are produced by the immune system and can affect healthy tissues. They usually affect the healthy tissues in the joints.
Thus, this test is used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its severity. RA is a chronic, inflammatory, and autoimmune disease of the bones that mainly affects the hands and feet, thereby causing pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints.
The presence of CCP antibodies confirms RA, and it’s usually not found in people who don’t have this disease. The CCP antibodies test is often done along with the rheumatoid factor (RF) test, but the RF can even be found in healthy people. Thus, the CCP test provides a more accurate diagnosis of the disease.
