Analysis of the ratio of urinary beta-2-microglobulin to total protein concentration in children with isolated tubulointerstitial disease

ConclusionIn children with tubulointerstitial diseases, the urinary β2-MG concentration may be approximately 8.5% of the TP concentration. The possibility of presenting with glomerular disease should be considered in patients with a ratio of urinary β2-MG to TP concentration of <  22.3 (µg/mg).
