Measurement of plasma digoxin concentration by radioimmunoassay.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 relationship is not close, and a relatively wide range of plasma digoxin concentrations appear to be consistent with effective digitalization.

Sensitive radioimmunoassay for digoxin in plasma and urine.
A reproducible and sensitive radioimmunoassay for digoxin in either serum, plasma or urine is described. Using 0.5 ml of serum or plasma, the assay sensitivity is 0.05 ng of digoxin/ml. The antiserum and tracer solutions employed are available in a kit sold in the United States. All other reagents were prepared in the laboratory. The assay allows measurement of digoxin in plasma or serum for 96...
متن کاملRelationship between plasma concentration and dose of digoxin in patients with and without renal impairment.
The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a linear relationship between oral doses of digoxin and various measurements of steady-state digoxin plasma concentration and urinary excretion in patients with wide range of renal function. Ten patients (mean age 58 years) with creatinine clearances greater than 50 ml/min/1.73 m2 BSA (mean creatinine clearance 80 ml/min/1.73 m2 BSA) and ni...
متن کاملPlasma digoxin concentrations in patients on admission to hospital.
Plasma digoxin concentrations on emergency admission to hospital were measured by radioimmunoassay in 10I patients who had been taking chronic maintenance digoxin therapy. The mean concentration was I4I nglml. Fifty-eight patients had plasma levels outside the range o-8 to 2-0 nglml: of these, 33 patients had levels below o-8 ng/ml and may not have been given sufficient digoxin, while 25 patien...
متن کاملDigoxin-like immunoreactivity in normal human plasma and urine, as detected by a solid-phase radioimmunoassay.
Reports on the presence of digoxin-like immunoreactive substance(s) (DLIS) in the plasma and urine of several animal species and a few human test subjects prompted us to undertake to confirm the presence of DLIS in plasma and urine of normal persons and to investigate some characteristics of this antibody-DLIS binding. For this purpose we used a modified radioimmunoassay kit involving antidigox...
متن کاملInotropic and toxic effects of a polar cardiac glycoside derivative in the dog.
It has been suggested that central nervous system (CNS) neuroexcitation plays an important role in digitalis-induced cardiac arrhythmias. To elucidate further the role of the CNS in digitalis-induced arrhythmias, the inotropic and toxic effects of a highly polar semisynthetic cardiac glycoside, 3beta-O-(4 amino-4,6 dideoxy-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-digitoxigenin (ASI-222) were compared to those ...
