Antibodies help prevent disease by fighting against foreign substances like bacteria and viruses whereas Auto antibodies target and attack the healthy tissues of the body and cause the disease. These CCP antibodies confirm the presence of rheumatoid arthritis and help in identifying its severity for recommending the best possible treatment.

How is it diagnosed?

In ACCP test, the results are measured in EU/ml (enzyme units per milliliter). At 20 u/ml, it is considered positive for rheumatoid arthritis. However, this test is prescribed along with or after the RF (rheumatoid factor) test.

Positive CCP antibodies and Positive RF show a high possibility of having Rheumatoid arthritis.
Positive CCP antibodies and Negative RF show early-stage chances of developing the disease in the future.
Negative CCP antibodies and negative RF means low chances of having the disease.
