The synovial fluid hyaluronic acid in rheumatoid arthritis

J A Kofoed et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

The intrinsic viscosity of hyaluronic acid in synovial fluid decreases significatively in mild and severe arthritis (24% and 37% respectively). Variation in hyaluronic acid concentration parallels the above results. Chondroitin-6-sulfate can be detected in about 30% of the arthritic fluids.
