The Synovial Fluid Analysis for Sugar, Total Protein, and Albumin is a specialized test that evaluates the biochemical composition of synovial fluid in joints.
This test is commonly used to assess joint health and detect conditions such as arthritis, gout, joint infections, and other inflammatory or degenerative joint diseases.
This analysis measures the levels of glucose (sugar), total protein, and albumin in synovial fluid, which is the lubricating fluid surrounding joints. Glucose levels can help detect joint infections, while high protein or albumin levels may indicate inflammation or joint damage. These markers provide valuable information about the health and functionality of the joints.
The test is essential for:
Diagnosing Joint Infections: Reduced glucose levels in synovial fluid can indicate infections, such as bacterial arthritis.
Assessing Inflammation: Elevated levels of proteins and albumin often suggest inflammation associated with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or gout.
Guiding Treatment Decisions: Results from the test help physicians choose effective treatments for various joint-related conditions.
Individuals who may benefit from the Synovial Fluid Analysis for Sugar, Total Protein, and Albumin test include Patients experiencing persistent joint pain, stiffness, or swelling. Individuals with a history of inflammatory joint disorders, such as arthritis. People with symptoms suggest a joint infection or inflammation.
At Diagnopein in Pune, we provide high-quality diagnostic testing with several advantages:
a) Affordable Pricing: We offer cost-effective rates to make joint analysis accessible for all patients.
b) Advanced Technology: Our laboratory utilizes cutting-edge technology for precise and accurate results.
c) Clean and Hygienic Facility: We maintain strict cleanliness protocols to ensure patient safety and comfort.
d) Experienced Team: Our skilled professionals ensure efficient, quality care for a smooth testing experience.
At Diagnopein, we aim to provide results for the Synovial Fluid Analysis within 24-48 hours, enabling timely follow-up care.
A sample of synovial fluid is collected from the joint via a procedure called arthrocentesis, which is then analyzed for glucose, protein, and albumin levels.
Low glucose levels may indicate infection, while elevated protein and albumin levels are often associated with inflammation or joint damage.
Generally, no special preparation is needed, but it’s recommended to consult your healthcare provider for specific instructions.
