What is BETA 2 MICROGLOBULIN, URINE?

This test measures the level of Beta-2 Microglobulin (B2M) in your urine. B2M is normally reabsorbed by healthy kidneys, so its presence in urine can indicate damage to the kidney tubules, which are responsible for filtering waste.

Why is this test important?

High levels of B2M in urine are a sensitive indicator of early kidney tubular damage, which can be caused by certain medications, heavy metal exposure, or kidney diseases. It helps in early detection and monitoring of kidney health.

How to Prepare

A random urine sample is typically required. Follow any specific instructions provided by your doctor or the lab regarding collection.
