Anti CCP Test in Gurgaon - Price & Details

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that impairs joint movements. It is most commonly seen in females, and factors such as genetics, age, smoking, and obesity increase the risk of its occurrence. The condition may sometimes remain hidden for years and can only be detected through testing. The anti-CCP test identifies specific antibodies responsible for this condition as early as it begins. The test is performed using a small blood sample obtained from the vein of your inner arm.

The anti-CCP test is usually recommended for the following groups:

• Those who present with persistent joint pain, stiffness, swelling, or redness.
• Anyone with a family history of rheumatoid arthritis.
• Anyone who has tested positive for other RA tests, such as rheumatoid factor (RF).

What to Expect During the Sample Collection

A trained professional collects the blood sample by following the steps given below:

• An elastic band is tied around your upper arm.
• The vein is located on the inner side of your elbow, and a needle is inserted into it.
• The needle is withdrawn after the sample is collected, and a bandage is placed over the site to prevent minor bleeding.

What to Expect After the Test

• The test procedure is generally safe with minimal to no risk.
• Feeling dizzy for a few seconds is normal and resolves with a little rest.

Note: If you notice bruising, pain, or a rash at the puncture site after the test, consult your healthcare provider.

Anti-CCP antibodies: The test detects anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies. These are called autoantibodies as they start attacking the body’s own immune system, leading to an autoimmune disorder. These are detectable in the blood from the early stages.
