urinary beta 2-microglobulin as a prognostic marker in children with pyelonephritis running title: beta 2-microglobulin a prognostic marker
background urinary tract infection (uti) is common in children. uti with or without vesico-ureteral reflux (vur) may result in renal scarring. severe renal scarring impairs renal function and may result in hypertension, renal insufficiency, and end stage renal disease requiring dialyses or transplantation. beta 2 micro-globulin (ß2mg) is a low molecular weight protein freely filtered by the glo...

Abstract Background: Hydronephrosis is the most common congenital condition that is detected by prenatal ultrasonography. Moreover, the widespread use of prenatal ultrasonography results in an increased recognition of fetal hydronephrosis. Prenatal hydronephrosis is diagnosed at an incidence of 1:100 to 1:500 by ultrasonographic studies. The presence of hydronephrosis is not synonymou...
full textUrinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase as a diagnostic marker of acute pyelonephritis in children.
INTRODUCTION Prompt diagnosis and localization of pyelonephritis are of great importance in children. The urinary excretion of enzymes, and in particular N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), is considered a simple noninvasive marker for detection of renal tubular dysfunction due to pyelonephritis. This study was performed to determine the diagnostic value of urinary NAG in acute pyelonephriti...

full textBeta-2 microglobulin as a marker for HIV infection.
Beta-2 microglobulin is a sensitive surrogate test for HIV infection for use in jurisdictions where HIV antibody tests are not allowed to be performed on life insurance applicants by law/regulation. The advantage of beta-2 microglobulin over T cell testing, which is a surrogate test also used by the life insurance industry for detecting HIV infection, is the stability of B 2M in serum over lon...
full textBeta 2-microglobulin and neopterin: predictive markers for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection in children?
The value of beta 2-microglobulin and neopterin concentrations in serum for early diagnosis of infants born to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected mothers was assessed. Concentrations of both markers were measured in serum samples from pediatric patients (Centers for Disease Control classifications P0, P1, and P2), as well as in age-matched normal subjects. Both beta 2-microglo...
