euglobulin lysis test

euglobulin lysis test
(for hemorrhagic tendencies) the time of fibrinolysis is measured by determining the time required to dissolve an incubated clot composed of precipitated plasma euglobulin and exogenous thrombin. Lysis in less than 90 minutes indicates abnormally enhanced fibrinolytic activity.
