title: [Beta 2-microglobulin--its role in renal failure and hemodialysis therapy].
abstract: A review of existing knowledge of beta 2M-microglobulin and their origin, physicochemical structure, metabolism and clinical significance with particular allowance of renal insufficiency patients in chronic hemodialysis was conducted. The probably important participation of beta 2-microglobulin in the development of later complications, especially dialysis-related amyloidosis, occurring in hemodialysis patients was discussed.
