Sinovia

Synovial fluid (synovia) is a clear or slightly yellowish fluid that fills the cavity of the joints and ensures their mobility. It plays an important role in the functioning of joints, as it provides shock absorption and reduces friction between articular surfaces.

Synovial fluid consists of water, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and electrolytes. Its main function is to lubricate joints and reduce friction between joint elements. It is also involved in the immune defense of joints, providing protection against infection and damage.

With various joint diseases, such as arthritis, the synovial fluid can become thicker and more viscous, which can lead to pain and limited mobility. In such cases, the doctor may recommend treatment, which may include injecting special drugs into the joint or replacing synovial fluid with artificial substitutes.

It is important to remember that synovial fluid is a natural component of the joint and its absence can lead to serious health consequences. Therefore, if you are experiencing pain or limited mobility in your joints, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
