Available at an affordable price in Sonipat 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.

Understanding Anti-CCP Antibody

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune (a condition in which the body's natural defense system mistakenly attacks normal/healthy cells) and an inflammatory condition that causes inflammation (painful swelling) of the joints. In addition to the joints, RA sometimes also affects other body parts, including skin, eyes, lungs, or heart.

The Anti-CCP Antibody test checks for the presence and level of Anti-CCP antibodies in your blood. These antibodies are produced by your immune system in response to certain proteins found in the joints in individuals with RA. These antibodies are specific to RA and their presence can be detected even before the symptoms start.

Studies suggets that more than 75% of people with RA test positive for Anti-CCP antibodies. This test helps doctors identify RA early and distinguish it from similar conditions like psoriatic arthritis or juvenile idiopathic arthritis. This test is more specific than other tests like the Rheumatoid Factor (RF) test.

Doctors may suggest this test if you have joint pain, swelling, warmth, morning stiffness, or lumps under the skin. A positive result means these antibodies are in your blood, which makes RA more likely. A negative result does not rule out RA but may mean there’s a lower chance.

No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Results may vary based on your age, gender, health, and other factors. Share your full medical history with your doctor to help them better understand your condition and make a suitable treatment plan, including diet, exercise, or medicines.

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.

FAQs related to Anti-CCP Antibody in Sonipat

Inform the doctor about the medications you may be taking. No other specific preparations are usually required before this test.
No, there is no risk associated with an Anti-CCP Antibody test. However, since this test involves a needle prick to withdraw the blood sample, in very rare cases, a patient may experience increased bleeding, hematoma formation (blood collection under the skin), bruising or infection at the site of needle prick.
No, fasting is not needed. But let your doctor know about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect the result.
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.
Apart from anti CCP antibody test, rheumatoid factor (RF) test, joint X rays, and blood tests are advised.
No, the screening test for rheumatoid arthritis is the rheumatoid factor. But, once the RF is positive, the Anti-CCP Antibody test should be done to differentiate rheumatoid arthritis from other arthritis.
