  • Title: Treatment of digoxin intoxication in a renal failure patient with digoxin-specific antibody fragments and plasmapheresis.
    Author: Rabetoy GM, Price CA, Findlay JW, Sailstad JM.
    Journal: Am J Nephrol; 1990; 10(6):518-21. PubMed ID: 2075910.
    Abstract:
    A patient with renal failure due to myeloma kidney and coincident digitalis intoxication due to prescribed daily digoxin administration was treated with digoxin-specific antibody fragments and plasmapheresis. Rapid response to therapy was noted, removal of digoxin-antidigoxin antibody complexes was confirmed, and prevention of delayed rebound toxicity was documented. We suggest that this is the therapy of choice in similar individuals.
