Early diagnosis is important to manage RA, and one of the best tests for this is the <strong>Anti-CCP test<\/strong>. This blood test checks for <strong>anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies<\/strong>, which are often found in people with RA. The cost of the <strong>Anti-CCP test <\/strong>in India varies based on the lab and location. The <strong>Anti-CCP test price<\/strong> usually ranges between <strong>Rs 520 to Rs 1900<\/strong>. Doctors often recommend this test along with other tests, like the <strong>Rheumatoid Factor (RF) test<\/strong> and scans, to confirm RA and track its progress.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Anti-CCP-TEST-1-1024x783.jpg\" alt=\"Anti-CCP Test Introduction\" class=\"wp-image-7227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Anti-CCP-TEST-1-1024x783.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Anti-CCP-TEST-1-412x315.jpg 412w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Anti-CCP-TEST-1-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Anti-CCP-TEST-1-595x455.jpg 595w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Anti-CCP-TEST-1.jpg 1412w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your doctor may recommend an Anti-CCP test because of the following reasons-<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Joint pain and stiffness &#8211; particularly in the hands, feet, and wrists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swelling and inflammation in the joints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fatigue and weakness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of appetite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Numbness and tingling in the extremities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Morning stiffness that lasts for more than an hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Redness and warmth in the joints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decreased range of motion and mobility.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/anticcp-1024x376.jpg\" alt=\"anti-ccp related symptoms\" class=\"wp-image-6846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/anticcp-1024x376.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/anticcp-560x206.jpg 560w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/anticcp-768x282.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/anticcp-595x218.jpg 595w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/anticcp.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anti CCP Test Details in Brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7f5fe\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Also Known As<\/strong><\/td><td>Cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody, Anticitrullinated peptide antibody, Citrulline antibody, Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide, Anti-CCP antibody, ACPA<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><td>To diagnose and monitor rheumatoid arthritis and other musculoskeletal diseases.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/td><td>No special preparation required. <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fasting<\/strong><\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Reporting Time<\/strong><\/td><td>8 to 24 Hrs.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/td><td>Rs 520 to Rs 1900<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"price\">Anti-CCP test Price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"price\">The <strong>Anti-CCP test<\/strong> in India costs between <strong>Rs 520 and Rs 1900<\/strong>.
