Understanding Anti-CCP Antibody in Agra
What is Anti-CCP Antibody in Agra?
Available at an affordable price in Agra with Tata 1mg labs, an Anti-CCP Antibody test helps detect the presence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (Anti-CCP) antibodies in the blood, which are associated with autoimmune diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are often present in the early stages of the disease. This test detects antibodies that target proteins containing citrulline, a modified amino acid found in inflamed tissues. It helps differentiate RA from other types of arthritis.
Your doctor may suggest an Anti-CCP Antibody test if you exhibit symptoms such as joint pain, warmth, swelling, morning stiffness, or nodules under the skin suggestive of RA. Upon progression, symptoms often extend to the wrists, knees, ankles, elbows, hips, and shoulders, varying in severity and sometimes occurring intermittently. No fasting is required for this test; you may continue your regular eating and drinking routine.
What does Anti-CCP Antibody measure?
The Anti-CCP Antibody test measures antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides (CCP) in the blood. These antibodies are called Anti-CCP antibodies. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the body changes a protein building block called arginine into citrulline. The immune system may see these as threats and make antibodies against them. Anti-CCP antibodies are early markers of RA. They can cause long-term joint inflammation and damage. Their presence helps detect RA early, understand how it may progress, and plan proper treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions about Anti-CCP Antibody in Agra

Inform the doctor about the medications you may be taking. No other specific preparations are usually required before this test.

Q. Is fasting needed for the Anti-CCP Antibody test?
No, fasting is not needed. But let your doctor know about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect the result.
Q. What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease which is chronic (from a long time). It causes inflammation, stiffness, pain and disastrous changes in joints of the body. It can occur at any age but the usual age is after 40 years. As compared to men, women are more affected. It can progress slow or fast. But, if untreated can cause disability of the joints.
Q. What are other tests advised for rheumatoid arthritis?
Apart from anti CCP antibody test, rheumatoid factor (RF) test, joint X rays, and blood tests are advised.
