It was first identified in the 1920s among several small, discrete communities along the Danube River and its major tributaries, in the modern countries of Croatia , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Serbia , Romania and Bulgaria . The first official publication was made by the Bulgarian nephrologist Dr.Yoto Tanchev and his team in 1956 in the Bulgarian Journal Savremenna Medizina ,9, 1956, a priority generally acknowledged by the international nephrological community. Their study was based on a wide screening of inhabitants of the villages around the town of Vratsa, Bulgaria. Their contribution to the study of this strange endemic disease of the kidneys consisted in the description of symptoms which were not typical for the common chronic nephritis, i.e. incidence only in adults no children affected , lack of high blood pressure, xanthochromia of palms and soles Tanchev s sign , early anemia of hypochromous type, lack of proteinuria and slowly progression of the kidney failure. Tanchev et al. suggested this condition to be a disease sui generis.
