title: [The significance of digoxin-like immunoreactive factor (DLIF) for intensive care medicine].
abstract: The estimation of serum digoxin is a usual method in intensive care. In a case report the detection of digoxin-like-immunoreactive-factor (DLIF) is shown, which gives false high levels. DLIF is observed in renal damage, high cardiac activity, pregnancy and newborn.
