ABSTRACT
The research studied urinary beta2-microglobulin excretion to detect tubular dysfunction in 31 patients with primary nephrotic syndrome. The result showed the increased excretion of beta2-microglobulin was observed in 11/31 cases. There were no sighgicant differences of the urinary creatinine excreation and between group of patients with increased urinary beta2-microglobulin excretion and the group without it. This indicated having combine tubular dysfunction in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome. The finding might suggest the use of urinary beta2-microglobulin for detecting the associated tubular disfuntion in such patients
