[Indicators of the blood kinin system in patients with bronchial asthma during health resort treatment].

Indicators of the blood kinin system were studied in 57 persons including 42 patients with asthma and 15 healthy persons (control group) in the Kislovodsk health resort area. Activation of the blood kinin system (a decrease in the content of prekallikrein, fast- and slowly reacting kallikrein inhibitors) was observed in patients with infectious-allergic and mixed forms of asthma. Positive shifts of the kinin system indicators pointing to a decrease in the "production" of free kinins were observed in the patients under the influence of multimodality therapy at the health resort.
