READ MORELithium is commonly used as maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder. Toxicity occurs frequently, since this population is at high risk for overdose. Furthermore, lithium has a relatively narrow therapeutic index, so relatively minor changes in medications or health status can lead to toxicity. [ 1, 2] Clinically, the three main categories of
