Lithium and kidney function review

Posted by undopaminergic on February 1, 2023, at 14:16:04

Hi all,

For anyone interested in the question of the effects of lithium on kidney function (and structure), here is a review article which offers a discussion of the topic, as well as clinical guidelines as to when to terminate lithium therapy for nephrological reasons.

"Lithium and nephrotoxicity: a literature review of approaches to clinical management and risk stratification"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390660/
Full article:
https://bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12882-018-1101-4

Note that the article does not attempt to elucidate the mechanisms though which lithium may cause harm to the kidneys.
