What is an anti-CCP test used for? The anti-CCP (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide) test is valuable in the early detection of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) even before clinical symptoms appear. Identifying RA at this stage is crucial for early intervention and preventing extensive joint damage. This test aids in both diagnosing the disease and assessing its severity, helping healthcare professionals provide timely and appropriate care.
