Determination of Adipocytokine in Synovial Fluid of Osteoarthritis Patients

Conditions
Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Other: arthrocentesis
Other: ultrasonography of the knee
Registration Number
NCT01993342
Lead Sponsor
Parc Taulí Hospital Universitari
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the concentration of different adipocytokine (adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin, osteopontin) and an inflammation classic markers as Interleukine 1 beta, tumor necrosis alfa, interleukine 6 and high sensibility reactive c protein in the synovial fluid of knee osteoarthritis patients, and compare with the inflammation detected with ultrasonography evaluation of the joint. In last years, some studies appeared focusing on the role of adipocytokines in osteoarthritis and they correlated adipocytokines with cartilage degradation and x-ray degree; in our study we will focused in the importance of adipocytokines in the inflammatory changes more than in joint destruction.

Inflammatory knee osteoarthritisarthrocentesisWe recruited patients with osteoarthritis and synovial effusion to diagnostic the effusion and to confirm that this this synovial fluid had mechanical characteristics. Now we are going to determine the adipocytokines and traditional parameters of inflammation in this synovial fluid to correlate it, and we will associate it with the ultrasound explanation of the knee that we have in our database.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Determination of adipocytokine levels (adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin, osteopontin) in synovial fluidWe determine adipocytoquines in one month, all patients in the same determination kit

We have all the synovial fluid freeze, so now we have to determine the levels of everyone.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Knee inflammation parameters detected by ultrasonographythree months

We performed the ultrasonography evaluation at the same time than the visit were realized, and we have the results in a data base, so we will wait for the adipocytokine results and we will compare with ultrasound evaluation

To determine additional classic parameters of inflammation in synovial fluid as Interleukine 1 beta, Interleukine 6 and tumor necrosis factor alfaWe determine this inflammatory parameters in one month in all patient at the same time

We will use classic inflammation parameters to compare with adipocytokine levels
