The CCP Antibodies (Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody) test detects autoantibodies directed against citrullinated proteins, which are strongly associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This test is highly specific for RA and can identify the disease at an early stage, often before clinical symptoms become severe. Anti-CCP levels help differentiate RA from other inflammatory joint disorders and may also indicate disease severity and likelihood of joint damage progression.
