Abstract
We measured renal function in 22 children receiving cisplatin as initial treatment for neuroblastoma or malignant germ cell tumors. Glomerular filtration rates were estimated from the plasma clearance of 51Cr-EDTA and were compared with measurements of plasma creatinine concentration and creatinine clearance. The degree of cisplatin-induced renal damage varied widely, and plasma creatinine measurements and creatinine clearances were not reliable guides to glomerular filtration rate. Renal function in children receiving cisplatin should be monitored by measurement of glomerular filtration rate with an isotope clearance technique.
