Book The Best Anti CCP Test in Pocket Friendly Price in Kolkata

This test is used to find the CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibodies present in your blood. The CCP antibodies or the anti-CCP antibodies, are a type of antibody which are called autoantibodies. The immune system produces proteins called antibodies and autoantibodies.
The function antibodies and autoantibodies are as follows:

• Antibodies protect you from disease. They fight foreign substances like viruses and bacteria.
• Autoantibodies on the other hand can cause disease by attacking the healthy cells of the body by mistake.

CCP antibodies target healthy tissues in the joints. If the anti CCP test detects CCP antibodies in your blood, it can be indicative of rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive, autoimmune disease. Swelling, and stiffness in the joints and severe pain are commonly being caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Finding CCP antibodies is a common occurrence in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It is rare to find CCP antibodies in people who do not have the disease.

The anti CCP blood test cost in Kolkata commonly ranges from Rs. 1900 to Rs. 2000.

The Use of a Anti CCP Test 

The main use of a CCP antibody test is the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis disease. An anti CCP test is always performed with or performed after a rheumatoid factor (RF) test. Rheumatoid factors are also a kind of autoantibody. Earlier, RF tests used to be the main test for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. But it is seen that RF factors are often present in those who have autoimmune diseases. RF factors can also be found in some healthy people. Multiple studies over the years have established that as compared to RF testing, anti CCP provides a more accurate diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

When Should You Consider having a Anti CCP Test

You should consider having a anti CCP test if you have the following symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis:

• Joint pain
• Joint stiffness, especially in the morning
• Joint swelling
• Fatigue
• Low-grade fever

If you have undergone other tests that could not confirm or rule out a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, then also you may need to undergo an anti CCP test.

You would not need any special preparation to get an anti CCP test done. There are also minimal risks involved in doing the test as it is a simple blood test and has very minor risks like bruising.
