Sudden Blindness in a Hemodialysis Patient on Digoxin
A hemodialysis patient with atrial fibrillation and ischemic heart disease, already taking amiodarone and diltiazem, presented with complete blindness after commencing digoxin. A highly elevated serum digoxin concentration was discovered and treated with Digibind ® , with gradual but complete return of his vision. This case highlights a rare complication of digoxin potentiated by renal failure, medication interactions and poor communication.
