| الوصف: | Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer which continuously leaches from some plastics into the environment. It is on EPA's list of carcinogens but there are not extensive data on humans. People who are more in contact with these plastic products are at greater risk of exposure. Hospital patients with high exposure risk were evaluated and their tissues and blood DEHP levels are reported. Elevated DEHP levels were also observed in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients. A correlation is proposed between metal ions depletion and increased circulating DEHP in CFS patients. It was also found that DEHP cross reacts with some antidigoxin polyclonal antibody preparations. This can lead to false positive results in serum digoxin immunoassays and may indirectly endanger patients on digoxin therapy. |
