| Elevated levels of Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP) are associated with severe cartilage degradation and increased risk for continued tissue destruction. Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (CCP) IgG Abs and Rheumatoid Factor (RF) are useful in helping to confirm a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. |
