[Impact of ozonized sorbent hemocarboperfusion on kallikrein-kinin system in patients with progressive pulmonary tuberculosis].

The impact of ozonized sorbent hemocarboperfusion on the kallicrein-kinin system (KKS) was studied in 21 patients with slowly progressive (Group 1) and acute (Group 2) pulmonary tuberculosis. In Group 1 patients, the baseline values of KKS were suggestive of its depression with an increase in alpha 1-protease inhibitor (alpha 1-PI). In Group 2 patients, the activity of kallikrein was twice higher than the mean normal values with increased uptake of its precursor, a dramatic decrease in the level of alpha 2-macroglobulin and an acute phasic elevation of alpha 1-PI.
