About this test

The anti-CCP test detects antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides, the most specific blood marker for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

A normal result is negative, typically below 17–20 U/mL, varying by lab.

A positive anti-CCP is about 95% specific for RA and can appear years before symptoms begin. It helps diagnose early RA and RA in patients with a negative RA factor. High levels predict more aggressive, joint-damaging disease, supporting early treatment.

It also helps distinguish RA from other types of arthritis.

Questions about this test

When should I get the Anti CCP test?

You should get an anti-CCP test if you have joint pain, swelling, or stiffness, especially morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes in the small joints of the hands, wrists, or feet. It is also recommended when RA factor is negative but rheumatoid arthritis is suspected, for early or unclear arthritis, and a family history of RA.

How should I prepare for the Anti CCP test?

No special preparation or fasting is required for an anti-CCP test. Inform your doctor about any medicines you take, especially steroids, methotrexate, or other immunosuppressants. Bring previous RA factor, ESR, CRP, or X-ray reports if available, as these help your doctor interpret the results together.

Do I require fasting for the Anti CCP test?

No, fasting is not required for an anti-CCP test. You can eat and drink normally before giving your sample, and the test can be done at any time of day. However, if other tests that need fasting are ordered alongside it, such as blood sugar or a lipid profile, follow those instructions.
