| Popis: | The etiology of Balkan endemic nephropathy, a kidney disease encountered among the rural population living in regions along several big rivers on the Balkan Peninsula, remains unknown in spite of many hypotheses put forward and tested. One hypothesis involves mycotoxins as the causal agent. The mycotoxin ochratoxin A has been demonstrated to have a potent nephrotoxic effect in all mammalian species tested so far. |
