To determine the clinical significance of synovial joint fluid, we measured its GOT, GPT, LDH, ALP, CK, TP, BUN, CREA, UA, Na, K, Cl, Ca, P, Fe, GLU, CRP, TCHO, TG and ACP by auto-analyser.
The results were as follows: the activities of enzymes in synovial joint fluid were high in inflammatory disease. There was significant correlation between CRP and LDH, CRP and GOT, CRP and ACP, ACP and ALP, ACP and LDH in synovial joint fluid in rheumatoid arthritis, and synovial glucose levels were also lower than blood glucose levels. The values of BUN, CREA, UA, Na, K, Cl, and P in the synovial joint fluid were equivalent to these in the serum. Therefore, the analysis of joint fluid is useful for knowing the inflammatory changes in joints and the general condition of patients.
