Abstract
The kallikrein-kinin system is known to have natriuretic action in the kidney. What is the rate limiting factor in the action of kinin? Is that the kallikrein activity, kininogen concentration, or kininase activity? There are discrepancies between urinary kallikrein activity and urinary kinin excretion in some reports. Kininogen may not be the rate limiting factor in usual condition because kininogen could be measured in the final urine. In this meaning, kininase can be considered as potential candidate as the rate limiting factor in the kallikrein-kinin system of the kidney.
