What does this test Beta 2 Microglobulin, Spot Urine Test identify?

  1. Beta 2 Microglobulin, Spot Urine Test:

    The Beta 2 Microglobulin, Spot Urine Test is a diagnostic test that measures the levels of beta-2 microglobulin in a urine sample. Beta-2 microglobulin is a protein that is produced by all nucleated cells in the body and is normally found in low levels in the blood and urine.

    This test is primarily used to identify and monitor certain conditions, including:

    • Multiple Myeloma: Elevated levels of beta-2 microglobulin can indicate the presence of multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow.
    • Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Increased levels of beta-2 microglobulin may be seen in individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a type of cancer that affects white blood cells.
    • HIV/AIDS: In HIV-infected individuals, elevated beta-2 microglobulin levels may indicate kidney dysfunction or disease progression.

    The results of the Beta 2 Microglobulin, Spot Urine Test can help healthcare providers diagnose and monitor the progression of these conditions, as well as guide treatment decisions.

Why is Beta 2 Microglobulin, Spot Urine Test taken?

The Beta 2 Microglobulin, Spot Urine Test is taken to assess kidney function and to help diagnose and monitor conditions such as kidney disease, lymphoma, and certain autoimmune disorders. Beta 2 Microglobulin is a protein that is produced by cells in the body and is normally filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. However, if the kidneys are not functioning properly, Beta 2 Microglobulin levels can become elevated in the blood and urine.
