SP226CREATININE, CYSTATIN C, BETA-2-MICROGLOBULIN AND BETA-TRACE PROTEIN: WHICH MARKER IS BEST TO ASSESS CHANGES IN EGFR OVER TIME?

Beta trace protein as GFR marker in children

Background and Objective: Serum creatinine is the most used endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), but it also has multiple limitations. Therefore, some surrogate GFR markers, such as beta trace protein, have been introduced for GFR estimation. The aim of our study was to estimate GFR by serum beta trace protein using three available equations and compare them to DTPA GFR as the...

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...

Beta-2 microglobulin is an amyloidogenic protein in man.

Curvilinear fibrils with the tinctorial properties of amyloid were isolated from a patient with bone and joint involvement complicating chronic dialysis for renal disease. Subunit fractions of 24,000 and 12,000 mol wt were identified after gel filtration under dissociating conditions, the latter containing a significant amount of a dimer of the former. This was confirmed by Edman degradation of...
