Euglobulin Lysis Time
Alternate Names : Euglobulin Clot Lysis, Fibrinolysis/Euglobulin Lysis
What do Abnormal Results Mean?
In primary fibrinolysis (for example, caused by streptokinase administration, cancer of the prostate, shock), the euglobulin lysis time is shorter than normal.
In DIC, it is usually normal, but if all the plasmin has been consumed, the time may be prolonged.
- Decreased fibrinolysis (increased lysis time) may indicate:
- Increased fibrinolysis (shortened lysis time) may indicate:
