Anti CCP Test in Navi Mumbai - Price & Details

The anti-CCP test is designed to detect anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies. These are specific markers for rheumatoid arthritis. These appear in the blood much earlier than the symptoms occur. Detecting them early through a blood test helps manage the condition promptly and prevents it from worsening. A small blood sample is the only requirement for this test, with no special preparation needed. The test is available citywide in Navi Mumbai, with home sample collection, to make testing convenient for you.

Testing for rheumatoid arthritis is indicated for the following groups:

• Individuals presenting with symptoms indicative of rheumatoid arthritis.
• Family history of rheumatoid arthritis.
• If you tested positive for other RA tests, such as rheumatoid factor (RF).
