Summary:Digoxin (DX) is mainly excreted unchanged in the urine. In patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD patients), the relative contribution of hepatic elimination is increased. DX is a substrate of OATP1B3 (SLCO1B3), expressed on the sinusoidal membranes of hepatocytes in humans. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between SLCO1B3 gene polymorphisms and the value of trough concentration-to-dose ratio (C/D ratio) of DX in HD patients.We investigated two deletion polymorphisms in complete linkage disequilibrium ( – 28 to – 11 and – 7 to – 4) and two SNPs in complete linkage disequilibrium (T334G and G699A). Blood was sampled 62-72 hours after the oral administration of DX.The C/D ratio of DX was lower in patients with the deletion allele than in those homozygous for the insertion allele, and was lower in patients with the 334T/669G allele than in those homozygous for the 334G/699A allele, although the differences were not statistically significant. The C/D ratio of DX was significantly higher in patients with homozygous for the insert-variant allele (median: 121.8 (ng/mL)/(mg/week/kg), range: 92.5-259.4 (ng/mL)/(mg/week/kg) than in others (median: 93.4 (ng/mL)/(mg/week/kg), range: 66.5-154.3 (ng/mL)/(mg/week/kg)).In conclusion, the insert-variant allele of the OATP1B3 gene may increase the C/D ratio of DX in HD patients.
