Date | Category | Reference | Comment | 29.03.2000 | Osteoarticular | Beta2-microglobulin and amyloidosis. | Dialysis-associated amyloidosis is often composed of beta2-microglobulin fibrils. Beta2-M-amyloid deposition is probably at least in part related to elevated plasma beta2-M in chronic renal failure. | 01.06.2000 | Osteoarticular | Switch from conventional to high-flux... | Use of a high-flux membrane decreased the risk of morbidity and mortality. Larger molecule elimination was shown important for preventing beta 2m amyloidosis and for prolonging survival of dialysis patients. | 01.03.2010 | other | Serum beta2-microglobulin level is a ... | Serum ß-2-Microglobulin level is a significant predictor of mortality in haemodialysis patients, independent of haemodialysis duration, diabetes, malnutrition and chronic inflammation. | 04.05.2010 | Osteoarticular | Beta2-microglobuline plasma level and... | Plasmatic level of beta2-microglobuline is strongly connected with painful shoulder in dialyzed patients. |
