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.
Anti-CCP antibodies are better than rheumatoid factor for diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis. Serum concentrations of antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) seem to be just as sensitive and more specific than rheumatoid factor for diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis and predicting its progression.

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.
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.
The CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibody test measures CCP antibodies in the blood. CCP antibodies are proteins that are part of an immune system attack on healthy tissues and cells, such as the joints. A healthcare provider may order this test to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Seropositive rheumatoid arthritisICD-10 code: M05. 9 Seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, unspecified.
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.
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.

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.
