PROVIDER INITIATED TEST - The Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Test (Anti-CCP) IgG Antibody test detects antibodies directed against citrullinated proteins, which are commonly associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This test is highly specific for RA and can help identify the disease, often at an early stage. It is commonly ordered when symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, swelling, or inflammation are present. CCP IgG antibodies may appear before clinical symptoms develop and can provide important diagnostic and prognostic information. This test is often used alongside Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and other inflammatory markers for a more complete evaluation.
