English translation:thickens joint fluids
Explanation:
O fluido sinovial preenche as cavidades articulares (juntas) e tem a função de lubrificar as articulações sinoviais, permitindo a execução dos movimentos de maneira adequada e indolor. Algumas condições médicas, como gota e lúpus eritematoso sistêmico, causam alterações na viscosidade do fluido sinovial; além disso, acredita-se que alguns nutrientes em excesso também são capazes de alterar a viscosidade desse fluido, geralmente causando seu espessamento.

agree  Mario Freitas: Thickening, yes. But I'd use another preposition, such as "at" or "around" the joints.

agree  Jennifer Byers: I would use fluid, not fluids. The correct term is synovial fluid, but not sure what the audience is so maybe they just want to keep it simple.

  -> I agree, Jennifer. What caught my attention was the use of lay terms like "engrossa" and "juntas", an indication that the target audience is not technical.
