Turnaround: Set up: Mon, Thurs

Laboratory assay overview

Lysozyme in the serum is primarily due to the degradation of granulocytes and monocytes and its concentration reflects the turnover of these cells. Increases are seen in benign and malignant processes. Serum lysozyme is elevated in patients with acute or chronic granulocytic or monocytic leukemias and levels decrease with successful treatment. Conversely, patients with lymphocytic leukemia may have depressed plasma lysozyme levels.

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
