Anti-CCP Antibody (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody) Test in Lal Darwaja

What Does an Anti-CCP Test Measure in Surat?

This blood test measures the presence and levels of specific autoantibodies in your system:

• CCP Antibodies Detection: Identifies antibodies that target citrullinated peptides in your joints.
• Autoimmune Activity Assessment: Measures how your immune system is responding to your own tissues.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis Markers: Detects specific indicators strongly linked to rheumatoid arthritis.
• Disease Severity Indicators: Helps assess the potential progression and severity of joint inflammation.
• Treatment Response Monitoring: Helps evaluate how well your treatment is working.

Who Should Consider an Anti-CCP Test?

Your doctor may recommend this test if you belong to certain groups or experience specific health conditions:

• Individuals experiencing persistent joint pain, swelling, and morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes.
• People with symptoms affecting smaller joints, such as the hands, wrists, and feet.
• Patients showing signs of inflammatory arthritis with inconclusive initial test results.
• Those with a family history of rheumatoid arthritis who develop early joint symptoms.
• Individuals experiencing unexplained fatigue, low-grade fever, or firm bumps under the skin.

What is the Purpose of an Anti-CCP Test?

It enables early detection of RA before severe joint damage occurs, helps predict disease severity, guides treatment decisions, and supports monitoring of therapeutic response in patients with confirmed rheumatoid arthritis.
