Abstract
- An assay of Kininase II activity in the serum of 92 jaundice patients revealed a significant difference between the group with viral hepatitis (268.48 +/- 70.93 U/ml), that with biliary obstructions (133.05 +/- 37.64 U/ml) and with cirrhosis (173.76 +/- 79.56 U/ml). The increase encountered in patients with medical jaundice correlates well with total bilirubinaemia but not with cytolysis enzymes. This suggests failed demolition of ACE by the hepatocyte during cellular stress.
