Introduction. Arca of Midland Bosnian Posavina belongs stream water of rivers Sava and Bosna. The soil composed of aluvial and diluvial segments, specially carbonated composition. The soil is good drenaged and belongs walley soil group. Epidemiologically, that soil belongs to areas with endemic locality.
Aim. The aim was to investigate dependence of soil and incidence of endemic nephropathy.
Methods. For pedologic work of soil were used pedological charts section Vinkovci 3 and 4, Slavonska Požega 1 and 2, Bosanski Brod 3 and 4 and Tuzla 1 and 2, working maps and aero photo pictures and pedological parameters: profile and type of soil, drenage of soil and water solution pH value. A systematic examination of population was executed (aged 6-66) as “screening” tests: a) uroproteins b) urinary sediment. Perlustratcd population is divided into 3 groups: 1) healthy 2) exactly ill 3) endemic nephropathy suspected. At last two groups were done additional laboratory investigations: CBC, urineculture and antibiogram, BUN and creatinine, electrophoresis of concentrated urine proteins and β-2 microglobulin. Student t-test is used for statistical analysis of given results.
Results. The land of both side of river-bed Bosna make iAK, LPb and PDg soil. Turning from river-bed pedological characteristics of soil were changed. Average water solution pH value of 7,39 in iAk soil dropped on 5,49 in PDg soil; natural drenage of easily drenaged iAK soil to badly drenaged PDg soil dropped. The greatest incidence of endemic nephropathy is on LPb soil (5,28%), 2,3% on PDg soil and 1,54% on iAK soil.
Conclusion. The soil content of both side of river-bed Bosna is the same. The coast is iAK soil, than LPb soil and most far is PDg soil. The greatest incidence of endemic nephropathy is on LPb soil, less on PDg and iAK soil. It refers on direct dependence of soil and this disease. Our aim is to continues to investigate in the same way.
