The relationship of plasma to erythrocyte lithium levels in patients taking lithium carbonate.

Lee CR, Hill SE, Dimitrakoudi M, Jenner FA, Pollitt RJ.

Abstract

Plasma and erythrocyte lithium levels have been determined repeatedly in twelve patients taking lithium carbonate for affective disorders. In any individual the plot of the plasma lithium level against erythrocyte/plasma ratio is linear, but the ratio can either increase or decrease with increasing plasma lithium concentration. Erythrocyte/plasma ratio is an unsound basis for comparing individual responses to lithium.
