Synovial fluid analysis may be ordered to help diagnose the cause of joint inflammation, pain, swelling, and fluid accumulation. Diseases and conditions affecting one or more joints and the synovial fluid can be divided into four main categories:Infectious diseases – those caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses. They may originate in the joint or spread there from other places in the body. These conditions include acute and chronic septic arthritis.Bleeding – bleeding disorders and/or joint injury can lead to blood in the synovial fluid. This is commonly present in people with untreated blood clotting disorders such as hemophilia or von Willebrand disease.Inflammatory diseases –Conditions that cause crystal formation and accumulation such as gout (needle-like uric acid crystals) and pseudogout (calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals). These typically affect the feet and legs.Conditions that cause joint inflammation, such as synovitis, or other immune responses. These may include autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
