Doctor's Notes

Reviewed by — MBBS, MD (Biochemistry) · Reg. No. 21504

"The Lysozyme Muramidase Test is crucial for diagnosing leukemias and myeloproliferative disorders. Elevated levels often indicate granulocytic or monocytic leukemia, while decreased levels may suggest lymphocytic leukemia, aiding in treatment planning."

Understanding Your Results

Lysozyme levels in serum help diagnose and monitor conditions related to immune function and malignancies. Elevated levels often indicate increased granulocyte or monocyte activity, while decreased levels may suggest certain leukemias.
Elevated levels: Seen in infections, granulocytic/monocytic leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders, malignant histiocytosis
Decreased levels: May indicate lymphocytic leukemia
Normal levels: Suggest adequate immune function in the absence of symptoms
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience recurrent infections, delayed wound healing, or have symptoms suggestive of leukemia, consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and possible testing.

Limitations

  • ⚠Test is a send-out procedure, requiring specific consent form (Form 35)
  • ⚠Reference ranges may vary between laboratories
  • ⚠Not a standalone diagnostic tool; must be correlated with clinical findings

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor pain or bruising at the puncture site
  • ●Rare risk of infection or excessive bleeding

Interfering Factors

  • ●Delayed separation of serum can cause spuriously high lysozyme levels due to leukocyte breakdown
  • ●Hemolyzed or lipemic samples may affect accuracy

The test costs INR 13000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available in multiple cities.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required, but a duly filled consent form (Form 35) is mandatory.
What does a high Lysozyme level indicate?
High levels may indicate infections, granulocytic or monocytic leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders, or malignant histiocytosis.
What does a low Lysozyme level indicate?
Low levels can be associated with lymphocytic leukemia or certain immune deficiencies.
How long does it take to get the test results?
Results are typically available 2-3 weeks after sample collection.
