What is Beta -2- Microglobulin, Serum?

This test measures the level of Beta-2 Microglobulin (B2M) in your blood serum. B2M is a protein found on the surface of most cells, and its levels can increase with certain kidney diseases or conditions affecting white blood cells.

Why is this test important?

Elevated serum B2M can indicate kidney dysfunction, certain types of cancer like multiple myeloma and lymphoma, or inflammatory conditions. It's used to assess kidney health and monitor the progression of some cancers.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
