Serum cystatin C levels to predict serum concentration of digoxin in Japanese patients
Cystatin C (Cys-C) has been recently paid great attention as a better endogenous marker of the glomerular filtration rate than creatinine (Cr). In this study, the usefulness of Cys-C was compared with Cr in terms of the estimation of the steady-state serum trough concentrations of digoxin in Japanese patients. Forty patients treated with digoxin and 56 healthy elderly subjects were participated...
متن کاملAssessment of Abnormal Serum Digoxin Concentration
ABSTRACT Cardiac glycosides have been used in the management of heart failure for more than 200 years and remain the only drug currently available for Long-term ambulatory use that have positive inotropic effect.

متن کاملAssessment of Serum Cystatin C Levels in Women with Breast Cancer Compared to the Control Group
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in Iranian women, detected in 70% of cases when the disease has reached an advanced stage. The discovery of new diagnostic biomarkers is essential for the early detection of the disease. Cystatin C is a member of the cystatin family and a non-glycosylated, cysteine protease inhibitor that is also used as a functional marker of the ...
متن کاملSerum cystatin C and Chemerin levels in diabetic retinopathy
Objective: To investigate the levels of serum cystatin C (CysC) and chemokine (Chemerin) in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and their roles in the onset and progression of DR. Methods: A total of 150 diabetic patients were enrolled as subjects and randomly divided into three groups: the proliferative DR (PDR) group (n=50), the non-proliferative DR (NPDR) group (n=50) and the control gro...
متن کاملQuinidine-digoxin interaction: cardiac efficacy of elevated serum digoxin concentration.
Cardioactivity due to elevated serum digoxin concentration (SDC) after quinidine (Q) and digoxin (D) was evaluated in six healthy subjects by means of measurement of systolic time intervals (STIs). Each subject randomly received basic treatments with 0.2 mg D and placebo (PL1). Randomized coadministrations with Q (1 gm/day), sparteine (SP) (0.8 gm/day), and placebo (PL2) were given for 7-day pe...
