title: Are immunoassays for digoxin reliable?
abstract: The specificity of radioimmunoassay and fluorescence polarization immunoassay procedures for the measurement of digoxin has been assessed. Many steroids and lipids have been found to interfere and give false positive results for digoxin under the conditions of the study. Caution is recommended in the interpretation of digoxin measurements made by immunoassay procedures.
