Objective Carbamylation, a nonenzymatic post‐translational modification, contributes to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. Anti‐carbamylated protein antibodies (anti‐CarP) occur in around 50% of patients with RA and associate with greater joint damage. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are a major source of carbamylated autoantigens. We sought
