Abstract
Pulmonary function tests, including T1CO, and renal function tests were performed and GFR and ERPF measured in 18 patients with disseminated testicular non-seminoma before and after remission induction according to the Einhorn regimen. We found a significant positive correlation between delta GFR and delta T1CO (p less than 0.05). No significance could be demonstrated between delta ERPF and delta T1CO. It is concluded that caution should be exercised in administrating bleomycin to patients with severely impaired renal function.
