Nefropatia dos Bálcãs é uma forma de nefrite intersticial caracterizada por uma ocorrência geográfica muito localizada. Foi identificada pela primeira vez na década de 1920 entre várias comunidades pequenas e distintas ao longo do rio Danúbio e seus principais afluentes. Agora acredita-se que seja devida à ingestão crônica de ácido aristolóquico (ingestão de sementes de Aristolochia clematitis, nativa da região dos Bálcãs), embora tenha algumas diferenças em relação à nefropatia herbácea chinesa. Esta doença é caracterizada por insuficiência renal, proteinúria, nefrite tubulointersticial, anemia, fraqueza, descoloração cúprica da pele, e pode levar a doença renal em estágio terminal dentro de 5 anos após seu início. | |||
