Summary We studied renal function in nine patients with disseminated testicular carcinoma before and after remission-induction and maintenance therapy with a drug combination containing cis-platinum. The median glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreased during remission-induction therapy from 146 to 118 ml/min. No effect of cumulative toxicity on the median GFR was found during maintenance therapy, nor did the median GFR improve. The median effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) decreased during the total period from 705 to 514 ml/min. No significant changes in median filtration fraction (FF) and serum creatinine were observed. It is suggested that intrarenal hemodynamic effects are important in the nephrotoxicity of cis-diamminedichloride platinum (CDDP).
