摘要
We have previously reported occurrence of a specific type of nephropathy due to ingestion of Chinese herbs (Chinese herbal nephropathy [CHN]) In two patients In the UK. These cases highlighted the role of aristolochic acid In causing this nephropathy, which was first described In a Belgian cohort. We now report development of invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the! urinary tract associated with the presence of aristolochic acid-DNA adducts In one of these patients. This work clearly shows the carcinogenic potential of aristolochic acid In this new type of nephropathy.
