Euglobulin lysis time (ELT) is a blood test that looks at how fast clots breakdown in the blood.
Alternative NamesEuglobulin clot lysis; Fibrinolysis/euglobulin lysis; ELT
How the test is performedThe health care provider uses a needle to take blood from one of your veins. For information on giving a blood sample from a vein, see venipuncture.
The laboratory specialist will run tests on the blood sample to see how fast blood clots dissolve. The dissolving of blood clots is called fibrinolysis.
How to prepare for the testNo special preparation is usually necessary.
How the test will feelWhen the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performedThis is one of the best tests to tell the difference between primary fibrinolysis and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
The test can also be used to monitor patients who are on streptokinase or urokinase therapy for acute MI (heart attack).
Normal ValuesA normal value will range from 90 minutes to 6 hours. Euglobulin clot lysis is normally complete within 2 to 4 hours.
What abnormal results meanA longer-than-normal ELT time may be due to:
A shorter-than-normal ELT time may be due to:
The test may also be done to diagnose or rule out:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Heavy exercise can cause a shorter-than-normal ELT time.
Increasing age and certain medicines, including corticosteroids, ACTH, streptokinase, and urokinase can cause a longer-than-normal ELT time.

No. Osmosis will cause the red blood cells to release all of their moisture, and at the same time keep all of the materials INSIDE the cell wall. That's where the color comes from. If you use fresh water, or salt free water, osmosis will attempt to balance the salinity between the inside and outside of the cell resulting in cell rupture, called lysis. Salt water does not dry up the blood, it just makes it easier to clean.
Lysozyme (aka Muramidase) - Bacteriolytic properties:lysozyme is a heat stable cationic muramidase ( proteins belonging to the hydrolase family- enzymes )that is present in most bodily secretions such as saliva, tears, serum and also present in human neutophils.Lysozyme functions as an anti bacterial agent by catalysing the hydrolysis of specific glycosidic linkages in the peptidoglycan that forms bacterial cell walls. cell degredation follows the activation of cell wall autolysins by lysozome.Lysozyme can be found in high concentrations in egg white, and Hen Egg White lysozyme (HEWL) has been used industrially for some time. (there is a new non animal form called Lysobac, with a more reliable consistent net yield, as there can be alot of variation in concentration and there for the net yield of bacterial clearance from sample to sample). HEWL is most effective for the lysis of gram positive bacteria. Has little effect on the the lysis of gram negative bacteria, mainly due to the protective outer of the double membrane that is characteristic of those microbes, limits the access of the enzyme to its substrate.
Lysogenic is when the virus enters and binds into the hosts DNA and one could replicate slowly or two when the virus sense the host cell is about to die, the virus will go into lyic cycle and replicate and kills the host cell.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8"For everything there is an appointed time, even a time for every affair under the heavens: a time for birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot what was planted; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to wail and a time to skip about; a time to throw stones away and a time to bring stones together; a time to embrace and a time to keep away from embracing; a time to seek and a time to give up as lost; a time to keep and a time to throw away; a time to rip apart and a time to sew together; a time to keep quiet and a time to speak; a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.
