Optic microscopic, immunofluorescent and electron microscopic studies of renal biopsies in children aged 5-15 from affected families in endemic regions failed to detect any Balkan nephropathy related changes [79] . The diagnosis of Balkan nephropathy is now established according to the first two criteria (residence in endemic village and positive family history) suggested by Danilović [106] , presence of tubular proteinuria and ruling out other renal diseases. Although no specific indicators of Balkan nephropathy have been recognized, epidemiological data, familial history as well as clinical characteristics of the disease enable differential diagnosis. However, recent studies indicated that patients with Balkan nephropathy are at increased risk for the development of upper urothelial tumors in both native and transplanted kidneys [117] .	./cache/cord-017324-l3d3t4wh.txt	./txt/cord-017324-l3d3t4wh.txt
