Uploaded report is related to beta 2 microglobulin.It is great that this value is also normal.This excludes possibility of conditions like multiple myeloma,lymphoma.
Beta 2 microglobulin is a tumour marker for some type of blood cell cancers.
Though it is not very specific,it is associated with poor outcome of multiple myeloma and lymphoma.
It is also used to evaluate disease activity and the effectiveness of treatment.
As your husband has normal beta 2 microglobulin values,so there is nothing to be worried about.He is alright.
Get well soon.
