Abstract excerpt

Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a chronic tubulointerstitial disease associated with urothelial cancer, which affects people living in the alluvial plains along the tributaries of the Danube River. Challenges of studying BEN using the epidemiological method are multiple. The natural history from exposure to occurrence of the disease may take many years. The early stages of BEN are not easily detectable...
