Other diagnostic studies for bursitis include aspiration of the bursal fluid. It may be helpful in differentiate septic and aseptic bursitis.

On aspiration of the bursa, septic bursitis is characterized by increased protein and lactate level, decreased glucose level, WBC cell counts greater than 5000 to 20,000/µL with left shifts, and positive culture and Gram stain.
On aspiration of the bursa, bursitis associated with rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by presence of cholesterol crystals
On aspiration of the bursa, bursitis associated with gout is characterized by presence of Monosodium urate crystals
On aspiration of the bursa, bursitis associated with pseudogout is characterized by presence of calcium pyrophosphate crystals
