Balkan nephropathy is tubulointerstitial disease, leading to chronic renal failure. Association between Balkan nephropathy and transitional-cell carcinoma of the urinary tract is well known. Methods. The patient with chronic renal failure because of Balkan nephropathy treated with haemodialysis is described. Results.
