CCP2 IgG, RF IgA and antibodies against citrullinated fibrinogen were associated with the presence of parenchymal lung abnormalities. Interestingly, a high number of ACPA fine specificities gave a high risk of having parenchymal lung abnormalities at the time of RA diagnosis. No significant signals were identified between ACPA specificities and risk for airway abnormalities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"s4\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The presence of RF and ACPAs (especially against citrullinated fibrinogen peptides) as well as high number of ACPAs fine specificities are associated with parenchymal lung abnormalities in patients with early, untreated RA.
