Anti Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide; ANTI CCP

The Anti-CCP test measures antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides in the blood. These antibodies may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis and can be useful when evaluating persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness, or suspected inflammatory arthritis. Healthcare professionals may order this test along with other blood tests and clinical assessment to help support or rule out possible causes of joint symptoms. Results should be interpreted in the context of symptoms, examination findings, and other investigations.
