摘要Among 46 Chinese and mostly manic-depressive (85%) outpatients attending a lithium clinic in Hong Kong, virtually no patients had low serum (0%) or erythrocyte (2%) folate. Their mean folate levels did not differ from lithium-free outpatients. Although serum folate correlated negatively with lithium dose (P < 0.002) and serum level (P < 0.01), lithium treatment probably did not by itself cause low folate. Folate level was not related to diagnosis, duration of mental illness, other drug usage or spot affective morbidity. Patients with a good response to lithium in the previous one year had a higher mean serum folate level than those with unsatisfactory response (P < 0.05). These data suggest that folate deficiency is uncommon among Chinese psychiatric outpatients, but support recent evidence that folate at high concentrations enhances lithium prophylaxis.
