CCP numbers | Arthritis Information

I would love to see other's CCP numbers. This disease has made me an information junkie!

I've never had them checked..I was diagnosed long before the test was developed

My CCP was >250. I just had my rheumatoid factor tested again and it's 364.5. When first tested, my rheumatoid factor was 658. What's yours?My ccp is at 86.07 and my rf is under 20 My RF is 173 and CCP is 181

Nini your numbers are seriously high-how do you feel?

RF = 330

Anti-CCP = 238

Okay I guess what I'm now after is- Are those of you with the higher numbers feeling worse?, or... Once you pass the high range (>60) Does really matter or correlate to the disease severity?I've read that higher numbers "can" correlate to worse disease activity. But I've heard of many people with negative numbers that have very severe disease with lots of damage.Yeah, I guess the positive results just help you get the diagnosis easier. In my case I got the meds working quickly, feel great again. And although this all came on really suddenly we are checking my left wrist for possible damage already. X-ray showed possible mild degeneration, so going for MRI. Funny thing is it wasn't one of my real problem areas.

I was thankful my results were positive because I got treated really quickly too. That's scary that you have possible damage in an area that wasn't affected. What happened to prompt the x-ray of the wrist?

When I was diagnosed, a whole set of x-rays were done for a baseline. I think like 42 xrays. I was just diagnosed in January. I think this is now standard practice.

Wow. When I was diagnosed in 2004, I only had chest and feet x-rays.Yeah- I had several views of feet, hands, chest, neck, shoulders...My CCP at diagnosis was 10 and remains the same.

My RF at diagnosis was 16.5, and is now18.

I believe that I have a mild case so far, compared to others on this board. I have aches and pains and an occasional mild flare, and am not yet taking anything but aspirin, which is all that I need right now.

RF was 27 when my GP first tested me due to some swelling. Went to my first RA appt a month later and RF was 54 and CCP 40. Not sure if those are low or not, but I do feel that I'm under control on my meds, so maybe they are?

When I was dx, my RF was 129. I had major swelling, pain, and redness/ heat in right thumb, finger, ankle and toe. I had x-rays of both hands which showed up big white spots and also on my toe. I knew right away when I saw those x-rays that it was something. Just didn't know what.

Now RF is normal and swelling is down. I do have some pain on days that are humid, rainy, snowing, etc. I have lots of muscle cramps which I take muscle relaxers and pain meds for. I have been on enbrel for a couple months and have noticed that I have more energy and stiffness/swelling is down.
