Lithium levels

Posted by Markwell on July 14, 2021, at 10:37:45

I am currently on 900 mgs of lithium for BPD. I am currently 65 years old and have been on this amount for 5 years. I am afraid of developing a kidney issue as I age and continue on this dose. The lithium has been effective for me and I do horribly with AP's. One doctor suggested dosing once in the evening to help the kidneys. I also read where patients over 65 can use less dosage. Any thoughts or insights?
