The experiment was carried out in the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences,Rajshahi, Bangladesh, using gamma camera "Seamence" and the radioisotope 99mTc-DTPA. To study the variation of kidney counts, uptake and Glomerular filtration rate with renal split function, 27 patient´s renogram data were taken. The renal split function were linearly influenced kidney counts (CPM), uptake (%) of 99mTC-DTPA and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was linearly increased with renal split function but decreased with patient´s age. Majority patients had received (3-6)% 99mTC-DTPA for left kidney but (0-6)% uptake 99mTC-DTPA for right kidney in this research. On the other hand, majority patient had been investigated (20-30) GFR (ml/min) for left kidney but (40-50) GFR (ml/min) was evaluated for right kidney.
