Abstract
A total of 74 patients with various clinicomorphological variants of glomerulonephritis (GN) were examined. Only a high activity of the enzyme kinase-1 that destroys kinins and the kallikrein inhibitors alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 2-macroglobulin is a contribution of the kallikrein-kinin system made to the general antihypertensive "armoury" of the body, as shown by the study. The correlation between the kallikrein activity and the active renin/total renin ratio predetermines that kallikrein may participate in endogenous plasma renin activation in GN patients. In this case, the vasoconstrictive effect of renin may limit the antihypertensive action of kallikrein and kinins by a feedback mechanism.
