METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING OSTEOARTHROSIS PATIENTS FOR AUTOIMMUNE PROCESS

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves taking synovial fluid sample for testing it with chondroitin sulfate as antigen. Critical optical density value and optical density of the sample at 450 nm is determined. The optical density of the sample being found greater than the critical optical density value, autoimmune process in osteoarthrosis patient articulations is to be diagnosed. ^ EFFECT: high accuracy in determining contraindications to intra-articular chondroprotectors introduction.
