Renal function impairment is an important complication of cancer itself and consequences of its treatment such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. To minimize renal and non-renal systemic toxicity many anti-neoplatic drugs require dose adjustment based upon glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Renogram using 99mTc-DTPA is one of the commonly used methods to determine GFR. It can also be calculated using many available mathematical equations; Cockcroft-Gault formula, Mayo Quadratic formula, Schwartz formula for children, and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study (MDRD)...
