Capillary electrophoresis of normal human synovial fluid: comparison with fluid from the disease states of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
Abstract
Substantial and characteristic changes in composition are found between normal human synovial fluid and fluid from clinically well-defined cases of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The peak due to uric acid is a useful marker for the region of the electropherogram where these changes occur.
