title: [Bradykinin levels in BAL fluid in patients with sarcoidosis].
abstract: In 14 patients with sarcoidosis and in 9 healthy controls the bradykinin level was estimated in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid. The statistically significantly higher bradykinin concentrations was found in sarcoid patients than in controls. No relationship was found between level of bradykinin in BAL and lymphocytes % and no relationship was found between bradykinin level and pulmonary function parameters.
