In older individuals, the defect in the functions of the kidney may enhance the occurrence of digitalis toxicity. In the patients suffering from diminished glomerular filtration, the half-life of digitalis can get extended. This may eventually lead to an enhanced concentration of digitalis in the blood or known as digitalis toxicity.
