✦ Synopsis

Plasma kinin formation after in vitro activation of factor XII in the coagulation system was examined in 4 patients with hereditary angioneurotic edema. Compared to controls activationcurves showed a steeper increase and higher maximum levels. Administration of tranexamic acid to the patients resulted in partial normalisation of plasma kinin activation.
