The kallikrein-kinin system was studied in 9 normals, healthy subjects (6 men, 3 women, age range 1 to 14 years) and 15 diabetic patients (9 men, 6 women age range 2 to 14 years) with an evolution of the disease between 1 to 14 years. Diabetic patients with low microalbuminuria (6.62 +/- 0.97 mg/24 h) show increased total and pre-kallikrein respect to control (3 and 2 fold respectively). On the other hand patients with high microalbuminuria (44.7 +/- 13.2 mg/24 h) show a total and pre-kallikrein of more than 4 and 8 fold increased respectively, compare with the control. According with these results we can concluded: 1) The total kallikrein and pre-kallikrein is increased in the diabetic state. 2) When microalbuminuria is high, the total and pre-kallikrein correlates with those increasing. 3) These changes could modified the renal hemodynamic in diabetes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D007610 Kallikreins Proteolytic enzymes from the serine endopeptidase family found in normal blood and urine. Specifically, Kallikreins are potent vasodilators and hypotensives and increase vascular permeability and affect smooth muscle. They act as infertility agents in men. Three forms are recognized, PLASMA KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.34), TISSUE KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.35), and PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (EC 3.4.21.77).

D008297 Male Males
D011288 Prekallikrein A plasma protein which is the precursor of kallikrein. Plasma that is deficient in prekallikrein has been found to be abnormal in thromboplastin formation, kinin generation, evolution of a permeability globulin, and plasmin formation. The absence of prekallikrein in plasma leads to Fletcher factor deficiency, a congenital disease.
