α2 - Macroglobulin ELISA

The α2-Macroglobulin ELISA kit is intended for the quantitative determination of α2-macroglobulin in urine, serum and plasma. 

Indications:

• Detection and differentiation of proteinuria according to kidney damage localisation;

• Differentiation of renal and postrenal hematuria.

Detecting α2M in urine is evidence of postrenal damage, when unfiltered serum proteins leak into the urine. Causes of postrenal damage are inflammation or hematuria as a consequence of renal stones or carcinomas.
