Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease which affects joints. RA is a chronic, inflammatory disease that mainly affects the hands and feet, thereby causing pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. Patients exhibit clinical manifestations like joint erosion, interstitial lung disease and cardiovascular disease. Delayed diagnosis of RA is associated with joint disease and poor outcomes. Anti-CCP antibodies are useful in early diagnosis of patients suspected of Rheumatoid arthritis and its severity. The CCP antibodies test is often done along with the rheumatoid factor (RF) test, but the RF can even be found in healthy people. Thus, the CCP test provides a more accurate diagnosis of the disease.
