If a patient tests positive for anti-ccp, it doesn't immediately lead to a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a clinical diagnosis..in certain cases, positive anti-ccp tests may also indicate the possibility of other conditions besides rheumatoid arthritis. A high level of crp in the blood is a marker of inflammation. It can be caused by a wide variety of conditions, from infection to cancer. High crp levels can also indicate that there's inflammation in the arteries of the heart, which can mean a higher risk of heart attack.
