CCP (Antibody Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide)
CCP (Antibody Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) is a test for antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides, which are strongly associated with rheumatoid arthritis, aiding in early diagnosis and monitoring of disease activity.
A CCP antibody test measures cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies in the blood. These antibodies are produced when a person suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. These antibodies differ from general antibodies that attack viruses and bacteria and protect the body. CCP antibodies, in contrast, attack the healthy cells in the joint causing rheumatoid arthritis. In most cases, the presence of these antibodies means that the person has rheumatoid arthritis. In other cases, CCP antibodies can also be found in other diseases, such as lupus, chronic lung disease and certain forms of cancer. It is a simple blood test that doesn’t require you to move out of your home. A trained phlebotomist will reach your doorstep to collect the sample.
