Beta-2 microglobulin

[Dane12]

Hi,Has anyone experienced an increase in Beta-2 microglobulin value during the treatment with interferon? If yes, has been confirmed by MD that it is caused by interferon?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Beta was ok but gamma goes high, in my opinion it is from the interferon as I could see it slowly increase over time with taking the interferon. Sometimes it decreases some. My doctor doesn’t seem concerned as long as no M spike.

Dane12,

Can I ask,:

Why did they test for it?

My MPN MD is a nationally recognized specialist and has never even mentioned it to me.

Thanks,

Hi,I was diagnosed with an axillary lymphadenopathy. The doctors are trying to identify to root cause and they asked me to run several blood tests, including beta 2 - microglobulin.

Oh, that makes more sense to me now...

I didn't really think it was something to do with the MPN's.

Thanks and God Bless,
