Mycotoxic nephropathy in Bulgarian pigs and chickens: complex aetiology and similarity to Balkan endemic nephropathy.
Spontaneous nephropathy in Bulgaria, which is observed frequently during meat inspection and which differs morphologically from the classical description of mycotoxic porcine/chicken nephropathy as made in Denmark, was found to have a multi-mycotoxic aetiology being mainly provoked by a combined effect of ochratoxin A, penicillic acid and fumonisin B1 in addition to a not-yet-known metabolite. ...
متن کاملSpontaneous mycotoxic nephropathy in Bulgarian chickens with unclarified mycotoxin aetiology.
Histopathological, biochemical and toxicological investigations of tissues and blood of normally slaughtered chickens exhibiting different frequencies (1-2%, 40-50% and above 80%) of nephropathy changes (congested or pale and enlarged kidneys) at the slaughtering meat inspection were carried out to elucidate the aetiology of nephropathies of chickens encountered in Bulgaria. A close relationshi...
متن کاملEndemic (Balkan) nephropathy is aristolochic acid nephropathy.
Endemic nephropathy is a syndrome that comprises two entities: chronic interstitial nephropathy and urothelial cell cancers predominantly of the upper urinary tract. The etiological agent for the disease is aristolochic acid, a compound found in the plants of Aristolochia spp. The development of urothelial cancers is characterized by the formation of aristolactam DNA adducts leading to mutation...
متن کاملWeathered Coal Deposits and Balkan Endemic Nephropathy
The correlation between the geographic occurrence of Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) and low rank Pliocene lignites is striking. Comparison of mass spectra of methanol extracts from lignite samples collected in the vicinity of two endemic villages, with mass spectra of methanol extracts higher grade coals, shows the presence of many more potentially nephrotoxic compounds, and much higher total...
متن کاملEarly Screening of Balkan Endemic Nephropathy
Introduction Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a chronic irreversible interstitial sclerosis, for which over the last 25 years, chronic exposure to aristolochic acid from the contaminated cereal seeds has been considered the most likely cause. The aim of our research is to reevaluate trends of disease and to try to obtain new information about practical implementing of in-field screening of B...
