Rheumatoid Arthritis Co-relation with Anti-CCP Antibodies with special reference to its Prevalence in Asymptomatic First-Degree Relatives

Anti-CCP should be preferred over RF as it correlated well with disease activity, but it does not guide well for the EAM. The higher sero-prevalence of Anti-CCP in AFDR may lead to higher risk of development of RA in near future. Thus, all AFDR should be screened so that we may follow up the positive cases for early detection and treatment of RA.
