Graves and colleagues (2) found a similar substance in concentrations up to 1 ng/mL by radioimmunoassay in patients with renal impairment, and Heazlewood and colleagues(3), using a fluorescence polarization immunoassay (TDX System, Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, Illinois), found no detectable digoxin immunoreactivity in 60 patients with acute or chronic renal failure. We report what may be an additional endogenous digoxin-like substance in three patients with combined hepatic and acute renal failure.These...References1. PUDEKSECCOMBEJACOBSONWHITFIELD MDBM.
