α1 - Microglobulin ELISA

The α1 - Microglobulin ELISA kit is an enzyme immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of α1-microglobulin in serum, plasma and urine. 

α1-microglobulin is a protein produced in the liver. In healthy persons it is metabolised in the kidneys and only minor amounts can be detected in the urine.

Increased α1-microglobulin concentration in serum is detected when the glomerular filtration rate is limited. In addition, when the ratio of total protein to the sum of albumin and α1-microglobulin is disordered, a prerenal proteinuria should be suspected.
