Joint Synovial Fluid (SF)

Target
SF
Molecular classification
Body Fluid, Lubricant, Nutrient Medium
01

Overview

Joint synovial fluid is a viscous liquid found within the cavities of synovial joints, serving as a lubricant, shock absorber, and nutrient medium. It is an ultrafiltrate of blood plasma enriched with molecules like hyaluronan and lubricin, produced by the synovial membrane and chondrocytes. Analysis of synovial fluid is clinically relevant for diagnosing various joint diseases based on changes in composition and physical characteristics.
