74806-1
LaboratoryLithium [Moles/volume] in Serum or Plasma --trough
Definition
Lithium is measured for compliance and toxicity. The standard draw time for lithium is at least 10 - 12 hours after the previous dose (i.e., in morning before subsequent dose) to allow for absorption and distribution to occur. This is called the trough.
