[Study of certain components of the kinin system in acute purulent peritonitis].

Under study was the kinetics of changes in the kinin content, the activity of kininase and blood proteolytic activity in acute purulent peritonitis in 63 patients. The kinin activity was judged indirectly by the kinin level in blood. The results of the study indicated that in acute purulent peritonitis the kinin concentration in blood is decreased in proportion with the gravity of the disease course.
