Summary: Balkan endemic nephropathy is a noninflammatory bilateral
kidneylesion that affects rural populations in several circumscribedareas
of the Balkans. Its etiology is still not understood, butrecently it has
been associated with exposure to nephrotoxicmycotoxins. It has been known
to be present since the mid-1950sin 14 villages in an endemic area of
Croatia, where approximatelx10000 people are at risk. Its prevalence
flactuates between 0.4and 8.3%, showing a slight decline in recent years,
but it hasnot disappeared from any of the endemic villages.

Summary: The first outbreak of Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN)
wasreported 1955 nad 1957, initially in Serbia and soon afterwardsin
Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The disease appears tobe of a focal
nature. In Yugoslavia at least six foci are known,generally along major
rivers of the Danubian river basin, inareas that have often been flooded in
the past and even todaysuffer from high ground waters. The prevalence rate
of thedisease is reported to be between 2 and 10%. In the endemic areaof
Croatia, a systematic survey of "in-the-field" cases of thedisease since
1975 has shown a prevalencebetween 0.5 and 4.4%.
