Shop - Anti Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody (CCP)

The Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (CCP) antibody test is used to detect the presence of antibodies that are associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These antibodies target cyclic citrullinated peptides, which are often found in the joints of individuals with RA. A positive CCP test can indicate a higher likelihood of developing rheumatoid arthritis and may help differentiate it from other types of arthritis. The test is typically performed on a blood sample and is useful in diagnosing RA, especially in patients with early symptoms. Results are interpreted alongside clinical findings and other laboratory tests to guide treatment decisions.
