The kallikrein-kinin activation was found in 141 patients with stage I and II essential hypertension, while its coagulographic indices were within normal values. The combined treatment intended to decrease the arterial pressure did not significantly affect the kallikrein-kinin parameters though the fibrinolysis activity somewhat increased. Activation of the kallikrein-kinin blood system in essential hypertension patients both prior and during the treatment testifies to its important role in the compensatory-adaptation mechanisms of the hemodynamic regulation in this disease.
