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.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
35
The made a diagnostic arthrocentesis to all patient we included
We explored the affected knee with an ultrasound explanation in order to describe inflammatory changes based on standard examination.

RECRUITINGDetermination of adipocytokine levels (adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin, osteopontin) in synovial fluid
We have all the synovial fluid freeze, so now we have to determine the levels of everyone.
Time frame: We determine adipocytoquines in one month, all patients in the same determination kit
Knee inflammation parameters detected by ultrasonography
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
Time frame: three months
To determine additional classic parameters of inflammation in synovial fluid as Interleukine 1 beta, Interleukine 6 and tumor necrosis factor alfa
We will use classic inflammation parameters to compare with adipocytokine levels
Time frame: We determine this inflammatory parameters in one month in all patient at the same time
