Abstract
The authors studied the left kidney consequences of splenic irradiation in 40 patients with lymphomas. The renal work-up performed before irradiation and every six months afterwards includes : blood pressure, biological tests, IVP and 197 Hg Neohydrine renal scan. Computer scan data processing showed a partial disfunction of left kidney in 16 patients with 18 month-follow up. Renal disfunction appeared within 8 to 10 months following spleen irradiation. During that period no clinical or radiological abnormalities were observed.
