Abstract
- This study was conducted to investigate the effect of lithium treatment on the serum total calcium, ionized calcium and phosphate in bipolar disorder. The subjects were 20 patients. The total calcium, ionized calcium and serum phosphate were measured before and after lithium treatment, and the values were statistically analyzed. The results are summarized as follows: 1) Serum total calcium level was significantly increased after lithium treatment(p<0.01). 2) Ionized calcium level was significantly increased after lithium treatment(p<0.05). 3) Phosphate level was significantly increased after lithium treatment(p<0.05).
