Synovial iron deposition in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Ogilvie-Harris DJ, Fornaiser VL.

We examined the iron deposition in the synovia of 25 patients with rheumatoid
arthritis, 25 patients with osteoarthritis, and 20 controls without joint
disorders. Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid synovia contained iron, but in
the latter greater quantities were present. None of the controls with normal
synovia had iron deposition. As osteoarthritic patients had no concurrent
systemic disorders, we suggest that local factors are of major importance in
the deposition of iron, as opposed to the theory that iron deposition in
synovium is a reflection of a generalized disturbance of iron kinetics in
chronic disease.
