The Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) antibody test is one of the most specific markers for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with a specificity of approximately 95%. Unlike rheumatoid factor (RF), which can be elevated in many conditions, a positive anti-CCP result is highly indicative of RA and can appear years before symptoms develop. This test is invaluable for early diagnosis, allowing treatment to begin before joint damage occurs.
Inflammation and autoimmune biomarkers help identify systemic inflammation, suspected autoimmune disease, and disease activity in known autoimmune conditions.
Anyone with unexplained joint pain, rashes, fatigue, or recurrent fevers; patients with known autoimmune disease monitoring flares; or individuals with strong family history of autoimmune conditions.
