Lithium (Li)
Lithium is usually used to treat bipolar disorders, such as mania or depression, as well as schizophrenia, dementia, and alcohol and drug addiction.
A lithium test is performed to evaluate the concentration of lithium in the body during treatment. The lithium dosage depends on the body mass. It must be administered meticulously because lithium is rather toxic, and it is easy to get lithium poisoning. If lithium concentration in the blood is too low, the treatment will be ineffective, on the other hand, overdose may result in poisoning.
You do not have to schedule an appointment in advance, you can simply check in at reception and request to be tested.
