B2M and acute kidney injury: Patients with COVID-19 significantly displayed early urinary leakage of tubular proteins such as beta-2-microglobulin (ß2m) and free light chains, tended to display acute kidney injury (AKI) more frequently (51.0% vs. 34.3%, P = 0.088), had longer MV (20 vs. 9 days, P < 0.0001) and longer ICU stay (26 vs. 15 days, P < 0.0001).
