Blood test to measure lithium levels, ensuring they remain within a safe and effective range.
About this treatment
Lithium has a narrow therapeutic range; this test helps maintain safe and effective levels. High levels can lead to toxicity (nausea, vomiting, tremors, confusion, seizures, kidney damage, death). Regular monitoring prevents adverse effects. Simple and accurate blood test from a laboratory you can speak to. Results emailed as a secured PDF and uploaded to the Health Dashboard.

Who is this for?
Anyone wanting to check specific health markers. People monitoring known conditions or treatment effectiveness. Those who want targeted testing rather than a comprehensive panel. Individuals following up on previous abnormal results or investigating specific symptoms.
Preparation Required
Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.
