SYNOVIAL FLUID FOR BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS

In the realm of Hypro Diagnostics, synovial fluid stands as a critical component within the cavities of synovial joints, acting as a lubricant to ensure seamless joint movement and minimize friction between cartilage surfaces. The process of arthrocentesis, involving the extraction of synovial fluid using a needle, allows for comprehensive biochemical analysis, shedding light on the chemical composition and underlying factors contributing to joint-related symptoms or conditions. The biochemical analysis encompasses various parameters, including the assessment of adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels, glucose concentration, protein content, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, and cell counts. Elevated ADA levels may signal inflammation, infection, or specific joint disorders, while glucose level comparisons aid in identifying conditions like septic arthritis. Irregular protein levels and heightened LDH can suggest joint inflammation or infection, with cell counts helping to characterize the type of inflammation present. The inclusion of microbial cultures further assists in identifying the presence of bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms, crucial for diagnosing infectious joint conditions. Interpreting the comprehensive results of synovial fluid biochemical analysis in tandem with clinical symptoms, medical history, and imaging studies enables Hypro Diagnostics healthcare professionals to provide accurate diagnoses and tailor effective management strategies for various joint disorders. This personalized approach ensures that treatment strategies align with the unique needs of each individual, promoting optimal healthcare outcomes.
