Lithium (Blood Test)

Drug Testing




A blood test for lithium levels is used to monitor the amount of lithium in the blood. Lithium is a medication commonly used to treat bipolar disorder and certain other psychiatric conditions. Monitoring lithium levels is important to ensure that the medication is at a therapeutic level and not causing toxicity.

The blood test for lithium levels involves taking a blood sample typically from a vein in the arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are usually available within a few days.

It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions before the blood test, such as fasting before the test or taking certain medications. Your healthcare provider will interpret the results of the blood test and adjust your lithium dose as needed to maintain therapeutic levels.

Symptoms of lithium toxicity can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, muscle weakness, tremors, and confusion. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Overall, monitoring lithium levels through blood tests is important for the safe and effective use of this medication.
