Abstract
Trauma might lead to pathological plasma proteolysis. In recent studies we found that several components of the plasma proteolytic enzyme systems becomes markedly reduced in patients with multiple trauma (1). Furthermore, these studies revealed significantly more pronounced decreases within the first week after injury in the fatal cases than in the patients that survived. In order to further evaluate these changes, components of the plasma kallikrein-kinin and fibrinolytic systems were studies in patients with a standardized surgical trauma.
