RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Inroduction: Disbalance of kallikrein-kinin system, which is present in patients with chronic pancreatitis, is quite often associated with metabolic syndrome. The aim: to study and compare the status of kallicrein-kinin system in patients with chronic pancreatitis compared with patients with comorbidity of chronic pancreatitis and metabolic syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: All patients were divided into two groups: I group included 58 patients with chronic pancreatitis in combination with metabolic syndrome; IÐ group included 32 patients with chronic pancreatitis. . Indicators of kallicrein-kinin system in blood plasma were determined by chromatographic method. Results and conclusions: Worse condition of kallicrein-kinin system was observed in patients with metabolic syndrome. Patients with chronic pancreatitis with comorbidity with metabolic syndrome established more pronounced activation of the system of general and specific proteolysis with statistically significantly higher rates of proteolytic activity of plasma, kallikrein, α1-protease inhibitor and kininase-II (p<0.05) relative to patients with chronic pancreatitis.
