the previous finding of cppd crystals in synovial phagocytes by electron microscopy , together with the finding of nuclide activity in the synovium and the failure to remove such activity by joint lavage , suggests that endocytosis by synovial cells is an important , effective mechanism controlling the synovial fluid concentration of crystals in patients with cppd crystal deposition disease .
