High urinary beta2-microglobulin is not gout. Urine β2-microglobulin is an indicator of damage to renal tubular function. When urine β2-microglobulin is elevated, it is commonly caused by drugs, post-transplantation rejection, tumors and other causes of kidney damage. It is necessary to further clarify the cause of the disease and carry out causative and symptomatic treatment.
Gout is a condition in which the body produces too much uric acid or the excretion of uric acid is poor, resulting in the elevation of uric acid in the blood. In clinical practice, the value of uric acid in the blood is usually tested to determine whether the patient is suffering from gout. If the uric acid is in the normal range, it is not necessarily gout, in addition, if there are gout stones can also be diagnosed as gout.
At present, there is no study found that high urinary β-microglobulin can be used as a diagnosis of gout, so if there is high urinary β2-microglobulin you need to go further to the hospital, under the guidance of the doctor to further improve the relevant examinations, to clarify the cause of the disease and timely treatment.
