CCP | Arthritis Information

For those of you here, have you seen any statistics on what percentage of people have RA with negative CCP? All blood work normal except RA Factor (30).

Thanks,

just bumping this........ I don't fit the criteria you're looking for babs102009-05-04 12:30:58Basically your doctor will have to go by your symtoms because often auto immune disease does not show up on bloodwork. I have sjorgrens but it does not show up on my bloodwork. I am actually anti-ccp positive and RF positive. So I am positive for RA. I should be positive ANA and some other things but they all come back negative. So it is just one confusing thing after another when you have RA or auto immmune diseases.I am sero negative RF and anti-CCP. I am ccp neg. and positive RF 160, or I was last year when I had my blood work done.I am anti ccp greater than 250 and RF 650 and Palandromic. No flairs since last Nov![QUOTE=wanttobeRAfree]I am sero negative RF and anti-CCP. [/QUOTE]

CCP is only used to diagnose not to judge disease activity........ (says my RD from a major University in PA)
