    Lysozyme, an hydrolytic enzyme - a bacteriolytic glycosidase, when present in large amounts may appear as a far cathodal migrating ("cationic") band on serum or urine protein electrophoresis. Lysozyme has been found in all three human neutrophil granules (azurophil, specific, and gelatinase types).3 It is elevated in some cases of myelogenous, and most cases of myelomonocytic and monocytic leukemia. The elevation is proportional to the degree of monocytic differentiation and to tumor cell burden and if marked, can result in potassium wasting and hypokalemia.4 Lysozyme has been found within the granules of normal and leukemic eosinophils by immunoelectron microscopic study. Elevated serum lysozyme may not establish presence of monocytic differentiation in cases of acute myelogenous leukemia with eosinophilia. 5 The level of serum lysozyme has been used as a predictor of CNS involvement in these leukemias.6 Serum lysozyme has been shown to be elevated in a number of conditions, including tuberculosis and sarcoidosis as well as leukemia.1 Sensitivity for prediction of sarcoidosis was 79% in a recent study (c.f. that of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) at 59% in the same study). 1 The serum lysozyme level increased with the number of organs involved. Serum lysozyme, however, is less specific for sarcoidosis than serum ACE. Utilizing a turbidimetric method for measurement of serum lysozyme activity, there was evidence that such an assay was useful in differentiating infection from rejection in transplant recipients. 7
