High Serum Level of β2-Microglobulin in Late Posttransplant Period Predicts Subsequent Decline in Kidney Allograft Function: A Preliminary Study.

The differences between the main laboratory parameters of graft status (serum creatinine, eGFR, and normalized proteinuria) were highly significant ( Table 1 ). 3.2. β 2MG Level and Its Correlation with Allograft Function at Baseline Serum β 2MG level remained in the reference ranges (0–3.0 μ g/mL) only in one patient, whereas it was elevated in the other patients. β 2MG concentration was significantly higher ( P = 0.011) in the subset of patients with allograft dysfunction: 8.67 ± 2.48 μ g/mL versus 6.67 ± 2.13 μ g/mL in Satisfactory Function subset.
