LITHIUM
What does LITHIUM measure?
This test measures the level of lithium in the body. It may be used to monitor lithium levels in people receiving lithium-containing medicines, helping healthcare professionals assess whether the level is within an appropriate range and identify possible underexposure or excess. Results are interpreted alongside the timing of medication doses, clinical history, and other relevant findings.
