Brief Answer:
Not known...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There are no robust studies that demonstrate effect of smoking marijuana with results of DTPA scan. But marijuana doesn't grossly effect immediate renal functions. So though it may be ok, I would advice against smoking before the test.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
