Digoxin Test | Preparation & Expectations | Results and Values

What do the test results mean?

Normal values for digoxin in the blood range from 0.5-2.0 ng/ml (nanograms per milliliter). Abnormal values for digoxin in the blood may mean the medicine dose is too high or too low. However, some drugs, such as spironolactone, may interfere with the test results. In addition, people with liver, renal failure or pregnant women and newborns may carry substances in their bodies that may alter the results of the test. If digoxin levels are too high, the body could become poisoned. Serious side effects can occur such as nausea, vomiting, mental status changes, irregular heartbeat and vision changes.
