Author: AygunGuray, DoganAysun Fatma, GokalpCenk, KurultakIlhan, UstundagSedat

Case ReportsIn the medical field, a report that describes in detail a unique case, an unusual medical condition, or the effect of a treatment. Provides new insights and possibilities for treatment through individual patient cases.
Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.

Overview

Digoxin is a heart medication that can be toxic if levels in the blood become too high. This case report describes a woman who developed digoxin toxicity along with severe kidney failure. The woman was treated with continuous venovenous hemodialysis, which successfully lowered digoxin levels and improved her symptoms. This suggests that continuous hemodialysis may be a useful treatment option for digoxin toxicity in patients with kidney failure.

Original Abstract of the Article :
Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside that is used for the treatment of heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Besides its careful close follow-up, toxicity affects nearly 1% of congestive heart failure patients. Cessation of the drug, appropriate electrolyte and rhythm control and digoxin-Fab antibody are...See full text at original site

Continuous Venovenous Hemodialysis for Digoxin Removal: A Case Report

This study presents a case report of a patient with digoxin toxicity and severe acute kidney injury who was successfully treated with continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD). The authors explore the potential of CVVHD as a treatment option for digoxin toxicity, particularly in patients with renal dysfunction. Their research offers a promising avenue for managing digoxin toxicity, particularly in situations where traditional treatments are limited.
