Postmortem assay of digoxin by radioimmunoassay.
Analysis of postmortem blood samples from patients previously on maintenance digoxin therapy suggests that the results are of value in assessing the degree of digitalization at the time of death. Control cases gave results within the normal therapeutic range wheras of six cases in which digoxin was suspected of being implicated in the death five had 'serum' digoxin levels above the therapeutic ...
متن کاملMeasurement of digoxin by radioimmunoassay.
A sensitive, specific and precise procedure for the measurement of digoxin by radioimmunoassay is presented. The method is rapid, convenient and highly reliable for this very important measurement. Studies designed to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of the assay are presented and discussed.
متن کاملMeasurement of plasma digoxin concentration by radioimmunoassay.
A rapid, sensitive, and precise method for measuring the plasma digoxin concentration has been developed with the radioimmunoassay technique. Seventy patients receiving digoxin were shown to have plasma digoxin concentrations between 0.4 and 5 ng./ml. Preliminary studies show that though there is a positive correlation between total daily dose and the plasma digoxin concentration, the relations...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay of serum digoxin in relation to digoxin intoxication.
Serum digoxin estimations were done in 98 patients receiving digoxin for heart failure of varied aetiology. Digoxin toxicity or the lack of it was determined on the basin of established electrocardiographic criteria. Fifty-two patients were classified as 'toxic' and 46 as 'non-toxic'. The difference is the mean digoxin levels between the two groups was highly significant (P less than 0.001). Th...
متن کاملNegligible interference by spironolactone and prednisone in digoxin radioimmunoassay.
Spironolactone and prednisone reportedly cause measurable values for apparent digoxin, even when none is present. Effects of these medications were evaluated with 125I-labeled digoxin kits from five different manufacturers. Values obtained for apparent digoxin were either negligible or not sufficiently great to be clinically significant, regardless of kit methodology or manufacturer.
