In addition to tremors, lithium treatment appears to be a risk factor for development of parkinsonism-like symptoms, although the causal mechanism remains unknown. [73] In the average bipolar patient, chronic lithium use is not associated with cognitive decline. [74] Most side effects of lithium are dose-dependent.
The normal blood serum lithium level in those on treatment is between 0.6-1.2 mEq/L. [1] Some blood tubes contain lithium heparin which may result in falsely elevated results. [2] When lithium toxicity is suspected tests may include: fingerstick glucose; serum lithium concentration; basic metabolic panel to assess renal function

Lithium salts may also be helpful for related diagnoses, such as schizoaffective disorder and cyclic major depressive disorder. The active part of these salts is the lithium ion Li +. [198] Lithium may increase the risk of developing Ebstein's cardiac anomaly in infants born to women who take lithium during the first trimester of pregnancy. [199]
Potential side effects from lithium include gastrointestinal upset, tremor, sedation, excessive thirst, frequent urination, cognitive problems, impaired motor coordination, hair loss, and acne. [3] Excessive levels of lithium can be harmful to the kidneys, and increase the risk of side effects in general.
One of the main research efforts in the field of lithium-manganese oxide electrodes for lithium-ion batteries involves developing composite electrodes using structurally integrated layered Li 2 MnO 3, layered LiMnO 2, and spinel LiMn 2 O 4, with a chemical formula of x Li 2 MnO 3 • y Li 1+a Mn 2-a O 4 • z LiMnO 2, where x+y+z=1. The ...
Manganese(II) sulfate usually refers to the inorganic compound with the formula MnSO 4 ·H 2 O. This pale pink deliquescent solid is a commercially significant manganese(II) salt. Approximately 260,000 tonnes of manganese(II) sulfate were produced worldwide in 2005. It is the precursor to manganese metal and many other chemical compounds.
Lithium sulfate is used to treat bipolar disorder (see lithium pharmacology).. Lithium sulfate is researched as a potential component of ion conducting glasses. Transparent conducting film is a highly investigated topic as they are used in applications such as solar panels and the potential for a new class of battery.
