The Relationships of Plasma and Erythrocyte Sodium, Potassium and Lithium in Lithium Prophylaxis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relationship of intracellular Na+ K+ Li+ to their extracellular concentrations had been studied on 22 cases bipolar affective disorders who had been on prophylactic lithium. 6 of these cases were nonresponders who were admitted repeatedly despite a therapeutic serum lithium values of 0.8-1.1 m moi/L. Parameters measured were Plasma lithium (Lp), Erythrocyte Lithium (Le), Plasma potassium (Kp), Erythrocyte potassium, Ke) Plasma sodium (Nae). Eli had been calculated by using Nerst's equation. Significant correlations have been obtained for dosage and Lp, Lp and Le, and Lp and Le/Lp. There were no significant difference between the responders and non-responders as regards to values of Le, Lp, Nap, Nae, Kp and Ke.

A clinically useful method for determining erythrocyte sodium and potassium.
A method is presented for determining erythrocyte sodium and potassium concentration. Heparinized whole blood is separated into cellular and plasma fractions in large-bore capillary tubes. An aliquot of the erythrocyte fraction is then pipetted directly into lithium chloride diluent and the electrolytes determined flame photometrically. Plasma trapping is measured with ‘4C-inulin and correction...
متن کاملLithium changes due to biorhythms and changing activity of epiphysis
Considering the physiological role of epiphysis in functional activity and defense reactions of the body, this study was carried out to evaluate changes of lithium level due to biorhythms of epiphysis. For this purpose, albino mice (6-month old) were used. The animals were kept in light (resulting in inhibition of the activity of epiphysis) and dark (which increases the activity of epiphysis) e...

متن کاملChanges in Biochemical Parameters Related to Lipid Metabolism Following Lithium Treatment in Rat
Lithium is widely used in medicine as an anti-depressive drug. In spite of abundant literature, questions on the side effects of lithium ions are far from being answered. In this study, the effects of lithium on biochemical parameters related to lipid metabolism were investigated. Male Wistar rats were treated with different doses of lithium for a period of up to 60 days. Blood samples were col...
متن کاملThe effect of titanium dioxide and molybdenum oxide on the properties of sodium potassium niobate piezoceramic
Sodium potassium niobate piezoceramics are considered as lead-free piezoelectric due to their good properties. In this study, the effect of titanium dioxide and molybdenum oxide as dopant on the densification behavior, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of lithium doped sodium potassium niobate ((K0.5Na0.5)0.94Li0.06NbO3, KNNL) was investigated. For this purpose, (K0.5Na0.5)0.94Li0.06Nb0.9...
