Lyaluronic acid and total protein concentrations in synovial fluid of the knee joint obtained from 48 patients with classical or definite rheumatoid arthritis were determined before, and 1 week, 1 month and 6 months after intra-articular injection of 90Y resin colloid. The concentration ratio of total protein to hyaluronic acid, which is a sensitive index of the abnormality of the synovial fluid, was worse a week after the injection in each group as regards the clinical effect of the 90Y resin injection, but was better 1 month and 6 months after the injection only in the remission group.
