[Kinetics of beta-methyl-digoxin in various degrees of renal function]. 1977

P F Angelino, and F Matta, and S Bartolozzi, and P Ladetto

A radioimmunologic assay method was employed for assessing the hematic and urinary levels of beta methyl-digoxin in patients with various degrees of renal function, evaluated by creatinine clearance test. Significantly elevated hematic values and reduced clearance rates of MD were observed only in patients whose creatinine clearance values were below 50 cc/min. A good correlation between values of creatinine and MD clearances and between their ratio and serum albumin levels was verified. The authors stress the usefulness of this ratio as an indirect index for the plasmatic percentage of the free and of the protein- bound fractions of MD.

D004077 Digoxin A cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from Digitalis lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone DIGOXIGENIN. Digoxin has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. It is used to control ventricular rate in ATRIAL FIBRILLATION and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Its use in congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm is less certain. The margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small.
