Scenario: Multiple Myeloma patient
- Beta -2 -Microglobulin: 2,421 Ref Range: 900 – 2300 ug/L.
Question: How will you assign SSDI Serum Beta-2 Microglobulin Pretreatment Level?
- 0 β2-microglobulin < 3.5 mg/L
- 1 β2-microglobulin ≥ 3.5 mg/L < 5.5 mg/L
- 2 β2-microglobulin ≥ 5.5 mg/L
Answer: 0 β2-microglobulin < 3.5 mg/L
Discussion: This field is recorded utilizing mg/L. The reference range for our results was not measured in mg/L. So, you must do the conversion. Just search on the internet for ug/l to mg/l conversion. A converter will pop up, you enter the lab value 2421 ug/l and it converts to 2.421 mg/L. Now you can pick the correct value for this SSDI-0 β2-microglobulin < 3.5 mg/L
