Sažetak
Publications report on the Bosnian endemic focus as more active than the Croatian during the last decades. Our aim was to assess the current state and to compare upper urothelial cancer (UUC) patients’ characteristics between Bosnian and Croatian foci. Design and Methods: Study included 40 patients undergone surgery for UUC in the period from 2005 to 2010 in General Hospital „Josip Benčević“ in Slavonski Brod. The definition of UUC comprises calices, pyelon and/or ureter cancer. Aristolactam (AL-I)-DNA adducts were detected and quantified in renal cortex using 32P-postlabeling method and additionaly confirmed by mass spectrometry. Modified MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) formula was used to calculate glomerular filtration rate, and patients were classified in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages groups according to the KDOQI (Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative) guidelines. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 16.0 at significance level p<0.05. Mann-Whitney test was used for comparison of numeric data between those two small groups.
