Abstract

Background

Digoxin is primarily metabolized by the kidney, and its toxicity is strongly associated with high concentrations, particularly in elderly patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive performance of renal function biomarkers for supratherapeutic digoxin concentrations in elderly patients with heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods

Data were retrospectively obtained from elderly patient with HF and CKD who received digoxin treatment from January 2022 and December 2022. Logistic regression was used to assess independent risk factors for supratherapeutic concentrations. The predictive performance of serum creatinine, serum cystatin C, and blood urea nitrogen on supratherapeutic concentrations was compared by receiver operating characteristic analysis.

Results

A total of 115 elderly patients with HF and CKD were enrolled in our study. Supratherapeutic concentrations were detected in 49 patients. Logistic regression analysis showed that estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by serum cystatin C [eGFRCysC, odds ratio (OR): 0.962, P = 0.006], heart rate (OR: 1.024, P = 0.040), and NYHA class (OR: 3.099, P = 0.010) were independent risk factors for supratherapeutic concentration. Cutoff value for eGFRCysC between the two groups was 41 ml/min/1.73m2. Predictive performance of serum cystatin C was further improved in patients with obesity, CKD stage 4–5, and older than 75 years compared with normal weight, CKD stage 3, and aged 60–75-year-old patients.

Conclusions

Serum cystatin C is a sensitive renal function biomarker to predict supratherapeutic digoxin concentration in elderly patients with HF and CKD.
