B2M is the light chain of the major histocompatibility class (MHC) I molecule expressed on the cell surface of all nucleated cells. Increased urinary B2M excretion has been observed to be an early marker of tubular injury in a number of settings, including nephrotoxicant exposure, cardiac surgery, and renal transplantation, preceding rises in serum creatinine by as many as 4−5 days. B2M may also serve as an early biomarker for AKI (Acute Kidney Injury).
