Anti CCP Test in Mumbai - Price & Details

The anti-CCP test is a specific test that checks for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies in the blood. These antibodies attack healthy joints and serve as biomarkers for the detection of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The test can be used alongside other RA tests, such as rheumatoid factor (RF), to improve accuracy. The anti-CCP test is ideal for all age groups, including both men and women. It is not a routine test and is only recommended when required.

Your doctor may order this test for you if you present with any of the following:

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

Rheumatoid arthritis

• An autoimmune disorder that affects joints, such as the hands, wrists, or knees.
• It can lead to permanent disability if left untreated.
• May require lifelong medications to prevent the progression of the disease.

What to Expect Before the Test

• Fasting is usually not required for the test.
• Inform your doctor about all current medications or any medical history.
• Always consult your healthcare provider for any special instructions beforehand.

What to Expect During the Sample Collection

A blood sample is required for the test, and the steps for its collection are explained 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• The needle is withdrawn after the sample is collected, and a bandage is placed over the site to prevent minor bleeding.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 risks.
• Feeling dizzy for a few seconds is normal and resolves with little rest.

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

The test measures a single parameter, ‘anti-CCP antibodies.’ These antibodies destroy healthy joint tissue, leading to rheumatoid arthritis. These appear early in the blood and can be detected in a blood sample.
