Abstract
Prekallikrein and high molecular weight kininogen were measured in plasma taken from nine women during parturition. Prekallikrein decreased significantly (p less than 0.01) from 1.49 +/- 0.15 S-2302 U/ml (mean +/- SEM) in early labor to 1.26 +/- 0.13 S-2302 U/ml in the immediate postpartum period. Immunoreactive high molecular weight kininogen also significantly decreased from 76 +/- 5 micrograms/ml to 68 +/- 5 micrograms/ml one day postpartum (p less than 0.01). Both proteins rose to normal levels within two days. The data suggest that the kallikrein-kinin system is utilized during parturition.
