title: [Beta 2 microglobulin in the blood pf patients with chronic renal failure treated by hemodialysis and kidney transplantation].
abstract: Beta 2-microglobulin serum concentration was measured in 25 patients on chronic haemodialysis with end stage renal failure, in 52 patients with renal transplant and in 26 healthy control subjects. In hemodialysed patients with end stage renal failure the concentration of beta 2-microglobulin was 15-20 times, and in patients with renal transplant 3-4 times that of healthy controls. Elevated serum beta 2-microglobulin concentration in patients with renal transplant seems to depend not only on the kind of immunosuppression applied but also on other factors, such as, for instance, the functional efficiency of the transplanted kidney.
