Abstract
In practice, it is recommended to test for both RF and ACPA in a diagnostic work-up for early RA. During follow-up, the value of testing for these autoanti-bodies has not been demonstrated, but additional studies are still necessary with the anti-CCP autoanti-bodies and the new anti-citrullinated protein autoanti-bodies.
