CA, calcium; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; CRE, creatinine; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; GGT, γ-glutamyl transferase; CK, creatine kinase; TBIL, total bilirubin, TP, total protein; ALB, albumin; GLOB, globulin. T0, immediately prior to injection of digoxin; T1-T7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 24, 48 and 72 h after digoxin administration. bDiffer significantly at P < 0.05 compared to pre-injection values.
