| Abstract: | The levels of serum beta 2-m in hepato-biliary disease have been examined. Significant increase has been observed in various benign and malignant diseases of the liver, but not in jaundice due to acute pancreatitis. The age-dependent relationship of beta 2-m is present in controls, weaker in the malignant diseases and absent in the benign diseases. The level of beta 2-m is not influenced by jaundice. Serum beta 2-m levels have no role as a discriminant in liver disease. |
