Guanase activity in endemic balkan nephropathy

Clinica Chimica Acta, 1971
Abstract Serum guanase activity was studied in 71 patients with renal diseases and in 30 normal individuals. A significant increase of serum guanase activity was recorded in 73.3 per cent of patients with endemic nephropathy. Only in isolated cases of chronic glomerulonephritis and chronic pyelonephritis, guanase activity was shown to be slightly ...

Renal Transplantation in Patients With Balkan Endemic Nephropathy

Transplantation Proceedings, 2007
Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a chronic tubulointerstitial disease prevalent in Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia. In addition to renal disease, an increased incidence of upper urothelial carcinomas (UUCs) has been observed in the foci of BEN. Carcinoma may occur alone or in combination with BEN.

Etiology of Balkan endemic nephropathy: A multifactorial disease?

European Journal of Epidemiology, 1998
Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is of great clinical importance in the restricted areas of Bulgaria, Rumania, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. So far, studies on the etiological factors for BEN have not discovered any single environmental causative agent of this puzzling disease.

Anemia in Balkan endemic nephropathy.

Kidney international. Supplement, 1992
The severity of anemia in patients at different stages of the evolution of two tubulointerstitial nephropathies, Balkan endemic nephropathy and chronic pyelonephritis, was compared to clarify the previous observations that anemia appears earlier and is more severe in Balkan endemic nephropathy than in other renal diseases.

Renal transplantation in patients with Balkan endemic nephropathy

Acta medica Croatica, 2005
Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a chronic tubulointerstitial disease prevalent in Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. Besides renal disease, an increased incidence of upper urothelial carcinoma (UUC) has been observed in the foci of BEN. Carcinoma may occur alone or in combination with BEN.
