Typically, a high white blood cell count suggests inflammation and a very high white blood cell count suggests an infection. A synovial fluid culture is an important test that takes a sample of the joint fluid and examines it for infection-causing germs, such as bacteria. A culture can identi...

Synovial fluid analysis is not pathognomonic for SLE. Many earlier investigators relied only on the LE cell preparation for diagnosis of SLE since they did not have more specific laboratory tests (e.g., kinetoplast of the Crithidiae luciliae for detection of antibodies to native DNA and “immu...
In SF analysis, new fields are being explored that include quantification of cytokines, chemokines, immunoglobulins and the characterization of cell lineages. 展开 关键词: Crystal analysis Synovial fluid Crystal associated arthropathies DOI: 10.1016/S2173-5743(10)70074-5 被引量: 8 ...
(SF) from consecutive patients with a non-traumatic joint effusion during a 6-month period. Inflammatory SF was defined by white blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 2000/mm3. The LERST was performed with both semi-quantitative visual analysis (VA) and automated colorimetric reader (ACR) analysis. ...
Reproducibility of synovial fluid analyses.

In the evaluation of artificial joint disorders, synovial fluid analysis can become a very efficient diagnostic tool. This chapter explains the role of synovial fluid cytological analysis in diagnosing prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Recommended cutoff
The fluid is kept free of debris by macrophage-derived type A synoviocytes, and formation of SF is balanced by its removal via synovial lymphatics. Unlike the lining of most body cavities, the surface of synovium consists of an incomplete cell layer with no intact basement membrane. The same...
