Methods Anti-CCP antibody was detected by ELISA.Rheumatoid factor(RF) was detected by immunoturbidimetry.Results The sensitivity of the diagnosis for RA by anti-CCP antibody was 68.75%and the specificity was 97.62%.The sensitivity of the diagnosis for RA by RF was 78.75%and the specificity was 65.85%.There wasn't statistic significance for the sensitivity difference and there was statistic significance for the specificity difference(P0.05).Conclusion The positive of Anti-CCP antibody is good for early diagnosis of RA.Read More
