- Abstract
The article titled "Challenges and missed opportunities in lithium monitoring for bipolar disorder: A reflection on Bosi et al.'s finding" discusses the monitoring of blood lithium levels, creatinine, TSH, and calcium in adults diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The article points out several shortcomings, including a lack of clarity regarding the diagnosis of bipolar disorder in the cohort, the criteria applied to patients who initiated lithium therapy, and the reasons behind therapy transitions. Additionally, the article highlights the need for further clarification on factors leading to decreased monitoring and the continuation of treatment in patients with a diminished glomerular filtration rate. The study also mentions adverse drug effects as a common reason for lithium discontinuation but does not provide specific details. Overall, the article emphasizes the need for more comprehensive understanding and elaboration of the study's findings and implications.
