Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (CCP) IgA + IgG details
What Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (CCP) IgA + IgG shows
Anti-CCP antibodies are autoantibodies directed against citrullinated proteins, which are proteins changed by a natural chemical process that can occur in inflamed joints. This test measures IgA and IgG forms together. It is used to help evaluate joint pain and swelling, because these antibodies are fairly specific for rheumatoid arthritis and can appear before symptoms. A positive result supports the possibility of rheumatoid arthritis, and higher levels have been linked with more active disease. A negative result does not exclude it, and results are interpreted with rheumatoid factor, inflammation markers and examination.
Tests that include Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (CCP) IgA + IgG
This test measures cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies. Measurements of anti-CCP may provide important information regarding the severity and prognosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
