Abstract
One may not rely solely on serum lithium levels to detect or prevent lithium intoxication. A review of the reported cases of serious lithium intoxication despite "therapeutic" blood levels of lithium is presented, along with a discussion of possible explanations for the phenomenon. Possible alternate means of following a patient on lithium carbonate are discussed.Entities:
