Her serum digoxin level was within the normal range (2.4 nmol/L [normal = 1.9–2.6]) along with a normal serum potassium level (3.9 mmol/L [normal = 3.5–5]). However, there was severe hypomagnesemia (0.39 mmol/L [normal = 0.65–1.25]) precipitating digoxin-induced dysrhythmia, which ...
Digoxin, the cardiac glycoside most frequently used in clinical practice in the United States, can be given orally or intravenously and has an excretory half-life of 36 to 48 hours in patients with serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen values in the normal range. Since the drug is excreted...

A nonlinear relationship was found between response and the post-distribution serum digoxin concentration in the therapeutic range. Thus, the increase in inotropic response is less than proportional to the increase in digoxin concentration in serum. This nonlinear relationship has several important ...
Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) separates serum proteins into bands whose shape and amplitude can alert clinicians to a range of disorders. This is followed by more specific immunoassays to quantify important antigens and confirm a diagnosis. Here we develop a high-speed capillary electrophoresis ...
The Hemoclot reagent was from commercially prepared diluted TT (HYPHEN BioMed, Neuville-sur-Oise, France); the normal range was 29.3–29.9 s [13]. Linear regression was employed to generate calibration curves. The reagent for the ecarin clotting time (ECT) assay was from Pentapharm, with a ...
Serum creatinine values were within the normal or near-normal range. The majority were receiving diuretic therapy which was associated with mild alkalosis (75% of patients) and occasionally hypomagnesaemia (18%). The patients were considered to be effectively digitalized. The mean serum digoxin ...

The mean serum digoxin concentration six hours after the morning oral dose of digoxin in 28 of the 41 patients, with normal serum creatinine values, was 1.3 ng/ml (S.D. 0.4 ng/ml), and in the other 13 patients with mildly elevated serum creatinine values (range 1.3 to 1.6 mg/dl for...
