Biopsy - synovial membrane biopsy arthroscopy
Definition
The synovial membrane is tissue that lines a joint. In this biopsy, a sample is taken of the joint lining.
Alternative Names
Biopsy - synovial membrane
Why the Biopsy - synovial membrane is Performed
Synovial biopsy helps diagnose gout, bacterial infections, or other infections and may suggest the presence of inflammatory conditions, such as autoimmune disorders.
How the Biopsy - synovial membrane is Performed
The test may be done in your health care provider's office. The joint to be biopsied will be positioned so there is easy access. The joint will be injected with a local anesthetic.
Next, an instrument (trocar) used to force fluid from a cavity is inserted into the joint space. The biopsy needle is inserted through the trocar and twisted to cut out a tissue segment. The biopsy needle is removed and the trocar is removed. The biopsy site is cleansed and pressure and bandage are applied.
This procedure may also be performed in a hospital via arthroscopy.
How to Prepare for the Biopsy - synovial membrane
Tell your health care provider if you have any drug allergies . Also make sure your health care provider knows which medications you are taking (including any herbal medicines and supplements), if you have bleeding problems, and if you are pregnant.
How the Biopsy - synovial membrane Will Feel
With the local anesthetic, you will feel a prick and a burning sensation. As the trocar is inserted, there will be some discomfort.
Risks
There is a very slight chance of infection and bleeding. Rarely, there is a chance of the needle striking a nerve or blood vessel.
Normal Results
The synovial membrane structure is normal.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Synovial biopsy may identify the following conditions:
- Coccidioidomycosis (a fungal infection)
- Fungal arthritis
- Gout (urate crystals that form in the joints)
- Hemochromatosis (abnormal accumulation of iron deposits)
- Tuberculosis
- Synovial cancer
The test may help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.
