DESCRIPTION:<\/strong>
\nLithium is a metal by its chemical composition. In medicine, it is used in the form of its salts: lithium carbonate, lithium citrate, lithium aspartate… as a medicine for patients with behavioral disorders (manic depression, schizophrenia), in the treatment of drug addicts. In such patients, due to the increased level of serotonin, there is a sudden change in mood, and lithium is the one that regulates the level of serotonin, i.e. maintains it in normal values.<\/p>\n

DETERMINATION:<\/strong>
\nSample: PLASMA. Blood must be drawn 12 hours after the last intake of lithium.<\/p>\n

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE:<\/strong>
\nDetermining the concentration of lithium in the blood is a clinical indicator of the monitoring of lithium therapy. The reference range of lithium in the blood is from 0.6 to 1.2 mmol\/L. Toxic effects can be expected at a plasma lithium concentration of around 1.5 mmol\/L, although they can also occur at lower concentrations. In this case, the drug must be stopped immediately, and toxic effects must always be considered very serious. Before initiating lithium treatment \u2013 \u200b\u200bIt is important to ensure that renal function is assessed. \u2013 Thyroid function should also be assessed. Patients must be euthyroid before initiation of lithium treatment. \u2013 The state of cardiac function needs to be evaluated especially in patients with cardiovascular disease. \u2013 Kidney, heart and thyroid function must be monitored regularly.<\/p>\n

RESULT:<\/strong>
\nThe result is ready in 1-2 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
