The pharmacokinetics of digitalis glycosides have been the subject of extensive re view (IISALO, 1977; ARONSON, 1980; PERRIER et ai., 1977). Research on glycoside kinetics has progressed at a rapid pace, requiring continuing reevaluation of the state of our understanding of this problem. The present article focuses on the effect of disease states (renal, gastrointestinal, thyroid, and cardiac) on the absorption, distribution, and clearance of a number of digitalis glycosides. Evidence is critically reviewed, and interpreted with respect to possible clinical implications. A. Renal Insufficiency I. Strophanthin Strophanthin disposition in renal failure has been evaluated in only two studies. KRAMER et ai. (1970) determined an elimination half-life of 14 h in normals as com pared to 60 h in anuric patients. Similar results were reported by BRASS and Pm LIPPS (1970) using tritiated strophanthin. They found a half-life value of 18 h in healthy individuals as compared to 68 h in anuric patients. The findings clearly in dicate that the elimination half-life of strophanthin is prolonged in renal failure."

In spite of old vintage and 200 years of clinical use, digitalis remains an interesting therapeutic agent, to clinicians as well as to the pharmacologist, the biochemist, and colleagues in other diciplines of theoretic medicine. When a drug, however, has so many attractive facets, it seems proper and aJvis able for the success of a scientific meeting to focus on a number of well-defined aspects. This symposium was devoted to pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism, analytic procedures, blood level determinations, and their interpretation both for thera peutic and toxic situations. Considerable progress has been made during the last years in this area of digitalis research. The time was suitable for a critical reap praisal of facts and theories and for future planning. Our main intention was to relate analytic data and biochemical findings to clinical problems and questions. Despite the undoubtedly basic character of clinical pharmacology, it is neverthe less an applied science which should help to develop the rational basis of thera peutics. We are particularly grateful to the active participants who bore the burden of preparing presentations and - even worse - manuscripts. At the same time we are well-aware that many other active research groups would have been able to contribute in this way, but our program was limited because of the short time available. Their knowledge is included in the discussion parts of the meeting, so we hope a well-balanced description of the present state of affairs emerged in this volume."

Das Problem kurzgefaBter Lehr- und Tasmenblicher eines Fachgebietes liegt in der Stoffauswahl. Dabei besteht die Hauptgefahr darin, groBe Dbersichtwerke proportional zu ver- kleinern in der Hoffnung, dann eine didaktism anspremende Darstellung zu erhalten. Dies gelingt in aller Regel nicht. Der Autor dieses UTB-Taschenbuches ist der gesmilderten Gefahr auch ausgezeichnet entgangen, insofern als er eindeu- tige Akzente gesetzt und sein Buch aum so strukturiert hat, wie es die Bedlirfnisse der Praxis verlangen. Entspremend dem banalen aber nun einmal zutreffenden Satz, daB haufige Krankheiten haufig sind, hat er die Glomerulonephritiden und die intestitiellen Nephritiden besonders ausflihrlich dar- gestellt. Andererseits ist das gesamte Krankheitsmuster ne- phrologischer Erkrankungen in einer knapp kommentierten Systematik der Nierenerkrankung" dargestellt, so daB der Dberblick liber das Fach nicht verloren geht. Aus ihr werden auch die mannigfachen Verknlipfungen der Nephrologie zu anderen Teilgebieten der inneren Medizin und anderer Diszi- pline ersimtlich. Besonderer Wert ist auf Auswahl, Temnik und Bewertung nephrologischer Untersuchungsmethoden gelegt, wobei konse- quent der Weg yom Symptom zur zugrunde liegenden Erkran- kung beschritten wird. Die ausfiihrlime Darstellung der chronischen Niereninsuf- fizienz ist nicht nur aus den langjahrigen Erfahrungen des Au- tors in der Haemodialysebehandlung verstandlich, sie ist auch sachlim gerechtfertigt, da heute immer mehr Krzte zahlreicher Disziplinen mit entsprechenden Patienten befaBt werden. Die Diktion des Buches ersmeint mir erfreulim prazise, ein- deutig in ihrer Stellungnahme und didaktisch engagiert. Der Bezug zur Praxis ist allenthalben gewahrt, ohne daB die Wis- senschaftlimkeit der Darstellung darunter litte. 1ch wlinsche diesem Tasmenbuch eine weite Verbreitung.
