[THe role of the kallikrein-kinin system in the origin of proteinuria in glomerulonephritis].

The kallikrein-kinin system of the blood serum (prekallikrein and kallikrein) was studied in 68 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis with the purpose of determining the significance of this system in the origin of proteinuria, protein content in the morning portion of urine and 24-hour portion. Linear correlation analysis revealed a direct relation of the levels of kallikrein and prekallikrein in the blood serum the morning and 24 losses of protein in patients suffering of glomerulonephritis with an isolated urinary syndrome (18 patients), nephrotic (27 patients) and glomerulonephritis with arterial hypertension.
