Beta-2-microglobulin (beta2M) is a light chain of HLA class I molecule, which is filtered by glomerulus, reabsorbed and catabolised by proximal tubule. It is one of the markers of transplant rejection. The aim of the present study was to find out the level of beta2M in acute renal failure (ARF), chronic renal failure (CRF), renal transplant rejection (TR) and renal transplantation stable (TS) cases, and correlation of beta2M with serum creatinine (SCr) in assessing renal failure.
