background : hepatitis includes a wide range of clinical and pathological conditions. the beta-2 microglobulin (ãÿ2m), as part of thehla complex, is responsible for transmission of viral antigens on the surface of liver cells. the purpose of this study is to determine the concentration of salivary ãÿ2m as a marker of viral proliferation in subjects who are hbsag + , hbv dna pcr + compared with ...

measurement of serum creatinine (cr) and blood urea nitrogen (bun) are used as indicators of glomerular filtration rate. the increased levels of these biomarkers are usually detectable at advanced stages of kidney complications. the aim of this study was to find the interrelationship of beta-2 microglobulin (β2m), bun and cr in streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetes mellitus in rabbits. diabetes...

The prognostic value of serum beta-2 microglobulin for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is not well known in the rituximab era. A retrospective registry data analysis of 833 patients with de novo DLBCL treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) was conducted to establish the prognostic significance of serum beta-2 microglobulin at a ≥2.5 mg/...

?2 microglobulin (?2m) fibril has been recognized as the major factor of dialysis-related amyloidosis. elevated serum levels are thought to be the basis for tissue deposition. in order to evaluate the effect of cellulosis membrane (fb 110) and treatment duration on s?2m levels, we determined serum levels in 23 hemodialyzed patients with end-stage renal failure. s?2m levels were markedly elevate...

Introduction: β2-microglobulin and prolactin are medium-molecular-weight toxins. We believe that the rate of removal these molecules, using filters with two different surfaces, in post- pre-dilution haemodiafiltration, will be interest to literature. Methods: studied, 12 haemodialyzed patients, those, filter surface 2.5 m2 (Group A) or 2.1 B) post-dilution a C). Results: Satisfactory (best post...

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...
