title: [Value of synovial biopsy in the diagnosis of arthropathies associated with hyperlipoproteinemias].
abstract: In two patients suffering from hyperlipoproteinemias (HLP) type II and also having arthralgias, a biopsy of the synovial membrane of the knees was done. In both cases sodium urate crystals were found. On the basis of this data, the authors emphasize the need for systematic use of biopsy of the synovial membrane in all cases of HLP with articular manifestations. In this way, it was possible to establish the nosographic autonomy of arthropathies combined with HLP.
