BACKGROUND: Proteinuria is broadly classified into glomerular and tubular proteinuria. Urinary beta-2-microglobulin (β2-MG) is known as a marker for detecting tubulointerstitial diseases. However, tubulointerstitial damage can also lead to an increase in urinary β2-MG level in some patients with glomerular diseases. This study aimed to determine the ratio of urinary β2-MG to total protein (TP) concentration in patients with both isolated tubulointerstitial and glomerular disease.
METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study included children with Dent disease or lupus nephritis in five facilities. Their urinary β2-MG levels were > 1000 µg/L. Urinary β2-MG and TP concentrations were obtained, and the ratio of urinary β2-MG to TP concentration (µg/mg) was calculated. The Mann-Whitney U test was performed to compare this ratio between these children. The optimal cutoff value of the ratio for considering the presence of glomerular disease was obtained from the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
RESULTS: We obtained information on 23 children with Dent disease and 14 children with lupus nephritis. The median ratios of urinary β2-MG to TP concentrations in children with Dent disease and lupus nephritis were 84.85 and 1.59, respectively. The ROC curve yielded the optimal cutoff value of this ratio for distinguishing between these diseases, and the cutoff value was found to be 22.3.
CONCLUSION: In 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).
