The association between βeta 2-microglobulin and bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Abstract
Previous studies showed that increased urinary Beta 2-microglobulin (β2-M) level is associated with fetal inflammatory response and successfully predict bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). We aimed to investigate the clinical utility of serum β2-M levels to predict BPD in preterm infants.
