while ACPA is a major category of autoantibodies. Anti-CCP stands for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide, while ACPA stands for anti-citrullinated protein antibodies. Moreover, the anti-CCP test detects anti-CCP autoantibodies, while the ELISA test detects ACPA autoantibodies...
Rheumatologists use physical examination, blood tests, and x-ray scans to diagnose RA.
