Abstract
THE colloid osmotic pressure of rheumatoid synovial fluid samples was measured before and after intra-articular hydrocortisone treatment using collodium membranes and a hydrostatic compensation system1. Previously, it had been found that contents of vacuum-dried synovial fluid adsorbed decreased volumes of water after cortisone treatment2. The results are presented in Tables 1 and 2, but a detailed account on the material is given elsewhere3.
