A DNA-Based Assay for Digoxin Detection
The most common method for quantifying small-molecule drugs in blood samples is by liquid chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry. Few immuno-based assays are available for the detection of small-molecule drugs in blood. Here we report on a homogeneous assay that enables detection of the concentration of digoxin spiked into in a plasma sample. The assay is based on a shift in the e...
متن کاملRapid plasma digoxin assay in outpatients--a useful routine technique?
In 25 outpatients taking digoxin for chronic atrial fibrillation (established for at least six months) a prospective study identified only one case in which rapid availability of the results of a plasma digoxin assay altered the dose which had already been selected on the basis of simple clinical assessment. No patient received more than 375 micrograms digoxin per day and none showed clinical e...
متن کاملPostmortem 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 کاملA physician's office-based digoxin assay (Seralyzer) evaluated for interference by endogenous digoxin-like immunoreactive factors.
A digoxin test for a physician's office based-chemistry analyzer (Ames Seralyzer) was evaluated for possible interference by digoxin-like immunoreactive factors (DLIF). Sera from patients likely to have high concentrations of DLIF (renal and hepatic patients, pregnant women, and neonates) as well as from normal patients and umbilical cord blood were analysed by the Seralyzer digoxin immunoassay...
متن کاملUse of digoxin-specific antibody fragments (Fab) in the management of digoxin poisoning.
Massive digoxin overdosage is an uncommon but serious medical emergency with a mortality of 20%.1 It involves multiple management problems including hyperkalaemia, heart block and resistant ventricular arrhythmias. The management of the problems associated with severe digoxin overdosage has been assisted by two recent therapeutic advances, the use of digoxin-specific antibody fragments (Fab) to...
