A blood test measuring anti-CCP antibodies, a marker commonly used alongside other findings to help assess the likelihood of rheumatoid arthritis in people with joint pain. Suited to people investigating unexplained joint symptoms.
1 biomarker as listed by Medichecks.
Anti-CCP (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibodies are commonly used, alongside other clinical findings, to help assess the likelihood of rheumatoid arthritis in people investigating joint pain, as opposed to other causes of joint symptoms. This test measures that one marker on its own.
Compare Health Test does not currently list directly comparable peer tests for this specific comparison group, so head-to-head price or depth comparisons are not possible here. Against the wider set of similarly sized immunity tests we track, the value for money score reflects that £78 sits well below the typical cost, and the clinical depth score places a single-marker test around the middle of that broader group.
Documentation scores well because the listing sets out the biomarker, sample type, collection options and turnaround clearly. Collection convenience is middling, needing a venous draw with a home nurse option. Trust signals score highly, reflecting Medichecks' Trustpilot rating, its UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, doctor review included with every test, and a trading history since 2001.
This suits you if a GP or clinician has raised the possibility of rheumatoid arthritis because of joint pain and you want the specific anti-CCP marker checked, with a doctor's comment on the result. It is not designed to investigate joint pain more broadly, so if you have wider unexplained symptoms, seeing a GP first is a more direct route to deciding which tests you actually need.
The sample is a venous blood draw, taken at a Medichecks clinic, via a home nurse visit, or at another clinic offering the venous draw option; it is not a self-collected at-home kit. The lab measures anti-CCP antibody levels. Results are typically back in around 5 days and a doctor reviews them before you receive your report.
This test measures anti-CCP antibodies, with a doctor reviewing the result in around 5 days, for £78. There are no directly comparable peer tests logged for this provider in this comparison group, though the value for money score reflects this sitting well under the typical cost of similarly sized immunity tests we track. It is a narrow, single-marker test aimed at one specific question rather than a broad panel.
The listing publishes a short description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
1 biomarkers, placing it in the 36th percentile of immunity tests we track.
A blood sample taken at home by a visiting nurse or phlebotomist; with a venous or clinic option as well; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 5 days, slower than similar tests.
Results are reviewed by a doctor; the provider does not describe the report format.
Trustpilot 4.5 from 2,477 reviews; accredited lab (UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs); doctor review as standard; trading 25+ years.

Combined Covid tests, discontinued from 30 Sept 2026
A combined blood test measuring both nucleocapsid antibodies, which indicate past infection, and spike protein antibodies, which indicate a vaccine or infection response.
Broad 13-marker urine panel, competitively priced
A urine analysis under the microscope plus a culture to check for bacteria, covering signs of infection, kidney health and metabolic changes. Suits monitoring urinary symptoms or investigating an abnormal result.
