Understanding Your Kidney Health: The Beta-2-Microglobulin 24-Hour Urine Test
When you’re concerned about kidney function or monitoring certain health conditions, having clear, reliable information is essential for peace of mind. The Beta-2-Microglobulin 24-hour urine test provides crucial insights that help your healthcare team make informed decisions about your care. At Oracle Genomics, we understand that waiting for test results can be stressful, which is why we’ve made this important diagnostic tool accessible and affordable across South Africa.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The Beta-2-Microglobulin test measures a specific protein in your urine collected over 24 hours. This protein level helps doctors assess how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood. When kidney function is compromised, higher levels of this protein may appear in your urine, serving as an important indicator for further investigation and monitoring.
This isn’t just another routine test – it’s a window into your body’s filtration system, providing valuable information that can detect issues before they become more serious health concerns.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma or other blood cancers
- Are experiencing unexplained fatigue or swelling
- Have a family history of kidney disease
- Are undergoing treatment that may affect kidney function
- Have diabetes or high blood pressure (key risk factors for kidney issues)
- Notice changes in urination patterns or frequency
Many South Africans live with undetected kidney concerns, making this test a valuable preventive measure for maintaining long-term health.

Choosing to monitor your kidney health through this test offers several important benefits:
- Early Intervention: Detect potential issues before they progress to more serious conditions
