  • Title: Prediction of therapeutic lithium dose: comparison and improvement of current methods.
    Author: Rosenberg JG, Binder RL, Berlant J.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1987 Jul; 48(7):284-6. PubMed ID: 3110139.
    Abstract:
    The predictive value of two methods of predicting therapeutic lithium dose was evaluated in 19 patients. A single time point lithium level determination method, modified by the use of a 900-mg instead of a 600-mg test dose, was found to be a reliable and safe predictor. A mathematical model used for predictions was found to be moderately accurate but to generally predict a lower dose than was actually required.
