Anti CCP Test in Hyderabad - Price & Details

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder characterised by inflamed joints. When antibodies start attacking healthy tissues of the body, it leads to autoimmune disorders. Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies are associated with rheumatoid arthritis. These antibodies are detectable in the blood before symptoms appear and can be identified with the anti-CCP test. The test procedure is simple and quick, requiring only a small blood sample.

The anti-CCP test is recommended only under special situations, which include the following:

• Presence of symptoms such as persistent joint pain, stiffness, swelling, or redness.
• A family history of rheumatoid arthritis.
• If someone tests positive for other RA tests, such as rheumatoid factor (RF).
