Ans: B
Anti cyclic Citrullinated Peptide,
which stands for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody, is a new and exciting blood test to confirm a diagnosis.The presence of the RF has less prognostic significance than the CCP. Of interest is that if your RF is negative, you are less likely to have a positive CCP. Both blood tests are recommended in the initial evaluation of a patient with suspected RA.
