Correlation between systemic markers of inflammation and local synovitis in knee osteoarthritis

Background: In the elderly population joint swelling, effusion and pain indicate local synovitis and the presence of inflammation.

With regard to serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) as a measure of inflammation, this study aimed to determine the association of systemic inflammation with local synovitis, as ...

Cartilage macromolecules in knee joint synovial fluid. Markers of the disease course in patients with acute oligoarthritis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the development of chronic joint symptoms in patients presenting with acute oligoarthritis including knee joint synovitis with effusion and explore whether prognostic information can be derived from initial synovial fluid concentrations of aggrecan and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) for development of chronic joint symptoms. METHODS Retrospective follow up...
