Anti CCP Antibodies Test

Our online medical laboratory is committed to providing our patients with a comprehensive range of tests, including the Anti CCP Antibodies Test. This test is designed to detect the presence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies, which are often found in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis.

The Anti CCP Antibodies Test is a blood test that measures the levels of anti-CCP antibodies in the blood. These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to the presence of CCP, which is a protein found in the joints. High levels of these antibodies can indicate the presence of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation in the joints.

Our team of experienced medical professionals performs the Anti CCP Antibodies Test with the utmost care and attention to detail. We understand the importance of accurate results and work closely with our patients to ensure that they receive the best possible care.

If you are experiencing joint pain, swelling, stiffness, or other symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, the Anti CCP Antibodies Test may be recommended. Our team is here to help you get the answers you need and provide you with the best possible care.
