Joint Fluid Analysis: A test to examine joint fluid under a microscope for the presence of bacteria, crystals, and blood cells. The test can help determine the cause of joint pain or inflammation. Normally only a small amount of joint fluid is found in a joint. Joint fluid acts as a lubricant for the joint and cushions joint structures. If your joint is infected, injured or inflamed, the amount of fluid may increase and your joint may become swollen, stiff, and painful. A sample of joint fluid is usually removed from your knee, but it can also be done on other major joints in your body, including your shoulder, hip, elbow, wrist, or ankle. The joint fluid is then analyzed in a lab to look for signs of infection, bleeding, or other causes of inflammation.
