description Objective To probe into the level and clinical significance of anti-carbamylated protein (CarP) antibody in serologically negative patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods A total of 301 RA patients and 55 healthy controls were recruited. Demographic characteristics and clinical data including serum levels of rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody were collected. Serum levels of IgG anti-CarP antibody were determined by ELISA. Results According to the 95th percentile of the anti-CarP antibody level in 55 healthy controls, the ceiling of normal value was ≤31 U/mL. Among 301 RA patients, the positive rates of RF, anti-CCP antibody and anti-CarP antibody were 74.8% (225/301), 75.1% (226/301) and 15.9% (48/301), respectively. The positive rates of anti-CarP antibody were 19.7% (15/76) in RA patients with negative RF and 20.0% (15/75) in RA patients with negative anti-CCP antibody, respectively. In negative-RF RA patients, additional detection of anti-CCP antibody could reduce the percentage of serologically negative RA patients by 39.5% (30/76). Additional detection of anti-CarP antibody could lower the percentage by 19.7% (15/76). Additional detection of both anti-CCP antibody and anti-CarP antibody could decrease the percentage by 50.0% (38/76). In serologically negative RA patients (negative for both RF and anti-CCP antibodies), additional detection of anti-CarP antibody could lower the percentage of serologically negative RA patients by 17.4% (8/46). Conclusion Additional detection of anti-CarP antibody has supplementary value for the diagnosis of serologically negative RA which is currently a difficult issue in clinical practice.
