About the test
Anti-CCP antibodies target certain modified protein structures in the body. Their detection may support a suspicion of rheumatoid arthritis when relevant symptoms and joint changes are present.
The result is compared with examination findings, rheumatoid factor and other information. A negative result does not exclude all forms of arthritis, while a positive result alone does not establish the diagnosis or stage of disease.
Why it is ordered
- Complement investigation of suspected rheumatoid arthritis.
- Clarify the significance of joint symptoms alongside other results.
How to prepare
