Popis: Aims. The study aims were to verify the serum (S) and synovial fluid (SF) reference intervals (RIs) for human neutrophil defensins (HNP1-3); measure S and SF defensin concentrations in different types of SF, including non-inflammatory, inflammatory non-pyogenic, inflammatory pyogenic, and hemorrhagic; and to compare the HNP1-3 concentrations in SF and S with those of other inflammatory biomarkers. Methods. SF and S samples were collected from 92 patients. HNP1-3 concentrations were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays; glucose, lactate, interleukin-6, and procalcitonin using an automatic analyzer; and presepsin using a Pathfast system. There were 61 non-inflammatory, 11 inflammatory non-pyogenic, 11 inflammatory pyogenic, and 9 hemorrhagic SF. Non-inflammatory SF was divided into non-inflammatory normal and non-inflammatory osteoarthritis. The former was used to estimate the HNP1-3 RI in SF and S. Results. The estimated HNP1-3 RIs of SF and S were 12.47-437.42 mg/L and 5.45-44.75 µg/L, respectively. HNP1-3 differed significantly between S and SF and individual groups of SF (P
