  2. Lithium toxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_toxicity

    The diagnosis is generally based on symptoms and supported by a lithium level blood level. [1] [2] Blood levels are most useful six to twelve hours after the last dose. [2] 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 ...

  3. Lithium (medication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_(medication)

    Those who use lithium should receive regular serum level tests and should monitor thyroid and kidney function for abnormalities, as it interferes with the regulation of sodium and water levels in the body, and can cause dehydration. Dehydration, which is compounded by heat, can result in increasing lithium levels.

  4. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    For most substances presented, the optimal levels are the ones normally found in the population as well. More specifically, optimal levels are generally close to a central tendency of the values found in the population. However, usual and optimal levels may differ substantially, most notably among vitamins and blood lipids, so these tables give ...

  5. Therapeutic drug monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_drug_monitoring

    Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a branch of clinical chemistry and clinical pharmacology that specializes in the measurement of medication levels in blood.Its main focus is on drugs with a narrow therapeutic range, i.e. drugs that can easily be under- or overdosed. [1]

  6. Trough level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trough_level

    In a medicine that is administered periodically, the trough level should be measured just before the administration of the next dose in order to avoid overdosing. [3] A trough level is contrasted with a "peak level" (C max), which is the highest level of the medicine in the body, and the "average level", which is the mean level over time. It is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium

    Lithium forms salt-like derivatives with all halides and pseudohalides. Some examples include the halides LiF, LiCl, LiBr, LiI, as well as the pseudohalides and related anions. Lithium carbonate has been described as the most important compound of lithium. [100] This white solid is the principal product of beneficiation of lithium ores.

    A flame test showing the presence of lithium. Flame test of a few metal ions. A flame test involves introducing a sample of the element or compound to a hot, non-luminous flame and observing the color of the flame that results. [4]
