The presence of CCP antibodies, when considered in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings, is an aid in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Approximately 70% of RA patients are positive for anti-CCP IgG, while only 2% of random blood donors and control subjects are positive.
Positive CCP antibodies and positive RF, it likely means that you have rheumatoid arthritis. Positive CCP antibodies and negative RF, it may mean you are in the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis or will develop it in the future.
As with rheumatoid factor, some people with positive anti-CCP antibody will not have RA, but this test is somewhat more specific for RA than the rheumatoid factor. The higher the levels of anti-CCP antibody, the more likely it is to suggest RA. This test is 97% specific for RA if it is present.
Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti-CCP) are a type of autoantibody: an antibody that works againstyour body's normal antibodies. Anti-CCP is commonly produced when you have rheumatoid arthritis. These autoantibodies begin targeting and attacking otherwise healthy tissue.
Serum levels of anti-CCP and RF showed statistically significant increase in patients with RA in comparison with osteoarthritis patients (all were negative for anti-CCP; 6.2% were positive for RF) and healthy controls (all were negative for anti-CCP anf RF) (p < 0.001).
A related blood test known as anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) test is also available. Anti-CCPs are antibodies also produced by the immune system. People who test positive for anti-CCP are very likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis, but not everybody with rheumatoid arthritis has this antibody.
The ANA, RF, and CCP tests are commonly used in adults in the workup of SLE and inflammatory arthritis. In general, physicians have assumed a similar diagnostic utility in diagnosing childhood rheumatic conditions.
Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (CCP) Antibody (IgG) - A synthetic circular peptide containing citrulline called CCP IgG (cyclic citrullinated peptide) has been found to be better at discriminating Rheumatoid Arthritis patients from patients with other diseases such as hepatitis C infection.
Description: This blood test checks for an amino acid called citrulline which is present when you have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA attacks your joints and Citrulline is a byproduct of joint damage. In response, your body often makes antibodies against citrulline.
A positive result for cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies may be suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) if compatible clinical features of disease are present. Significantly elevated levels of CCP antibodies may be useful to identify RA patients with erosive joint disease.
Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide, CCP antibodies, anti-CCP, anticitrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA), cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody.
Anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibody levels are characteristically elevated in rheumatoid arthritis, although they can be elevated in other rheumatologic conditions associated with inflammatory arthritis, such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
People with RA don't live as long as other people on average. Life expectancy, or how long you may expect to live, is influenced by many things, like your genes, age, medical history, and lifestyle. RA can shorten your life expectancy by an average of 10 years compared to people who don't have the disease.
MRI can also detect signs of rheumatoid arthritis, but a doctor will also use a variety of other tests, such as blood tests. Doctors can distinguish between soft tissues and fluids using MRI. This means they can assess signs of rheumatoid arthritis, such as inflammation and the condition of the synovial membrane.
Under ICD10, M05 and M06 diagnosis codes are reasonable proxies to identify seropositive and seronegative RA with high sensitivity and positive predictive values if lab test results are not available.
In summary, the use of the M05 and M06 ICD10 diagnosis codes appears reasonably useful to identify RA patients with seropositive or seronegative disease, a finding that likely will facilitate clinical research in data systems where lab results are not available. Similar to the fashion in which some EMR vendor systems assign obesity ICD-10 diagnosis codes automatically based on the calculated body mass index, EMR vendors could consider assigning the appropriate M05/M06 RA diagnosis code based on RF and/or anti-CCP lab test results to further improve the accuracy and utility of using structured data (i.e., diagnosis codes) in settings where lab results might not be available.
The shift in the USA from the International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition (ICD-9), to the 10th edition (ICD-10) that occurred in October of 2015 greatly increased the number of diagnostic codes available to classify patient’s medical condition.
Because RF and anti-CCP lab test results initially might be negative in early RA and subsequently become positive on repeat testing, if a patient had more than one RF or anti-CCP lab test result, it was classified as positive if any of them were positive, up to the date of the 2nd M05/M06 diagnosis code.
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Hemolysis; lipemia; gross bacterial contamination; addition of azide or other preservative; heat inactivation

Separate serum from cells within one hour of collection. Transfer to a plastic transport tube before shipping. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by LabCorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Autoantibodies directed against cyclic citrullinated proteins (anti-CCP) are found in many patients withrheumatoid arthritis (RA). In patients with RA and active joint inflammation, levels of anti-CCP are higherin the synovial fluid than in the peripheral circulation. Anti-CCP found in the serum is thought to be aresult of diffusion of these antibodies from the synovial fluid into the general circulation.
Extensive evidence has established that anti-CCP has a moderately high sensitivity, a high specificity,and is a strong predictor of future erosive arthritis. The test is useful in confirming the diagnosis of RA inpatients with early disease, especially when the criteria for a diagnosis of RA are not met by otherclinical or laboratory measures. Early identification of patients with RA is important since timelytreatment with DMARDs can prevent progression of destructive arthritis and improve functional status.The extensive evidence of the usefulness of the test for diagnosing RA supports its medically necessarydesignation.
