Kallikreinの泌尿器科的応用

Abstract

Kallikrein was used for the relief of 5 cas e s of renal and ureteral pain from the introduction of contrast media for retrograde pyelogrphy, and the benefical effect of the drug in lessening or abolishing pain was proved. In 8 cases of ureteral calculi Kallikrein alone or with cystoscopical management were used. Two patients passed their stone without instrumental aid and in one case the stone at ureteral orifice was removed with Young's ronguer but in 2 cases operation had to be performed. Two cases were successful in extracting calculi with looped catheter management, and Kallikrein therapy seemed of advantage when insinuating the catheter particularly resistant impacted calculus because of relaxation of spasms at the ureteral wall.
