Long-term lithium treatment can cause progressive kidney damage, potentially leading to kidney failure requiring dialysis. This study confirms lithium nephropathy is a significant risk for patients on this medication.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Pharmacology
  • Toxicology

Context:

  • Lithium is a mood stabilizer widely used for bipolar disorder.
  • Long-term lithium therapy is associated with various renal complications.
  • Assessing the progression of lithium-induced kidney damage is crucial for patient management.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the renal consequences of long-term lithium therapy.
  • To determine if lithium-induced chronic renal toxicity leads to progressive nephropathy and end-stage renal disease.
  • To evaluate the incidence of dialysis requirement in patients with lithium-induced renal failure.

Summary:

  • Fifty-three patients with pre-existing chronic renal failure (creatinine clearance < 80 ml/min) due to long-term lithium use were studied.
  • Patients received lithium for a mean of 17.7 years, showing an average creatinine clearance decline of 2.23 ml/min/year.

  • Seven patients on lithium for a mean of 22 years progressed to end-stage renal failure requiring dialysis; 30% had mild hypercalcemia.

    • Impact:

    • Lithium nephropathy is a real clinical entity causing progressive renal failure.
    • Highlights the need for regular renal function monitoring in patients on long-term lithium.
    • Emphasizes the importance of assessing the prevalence of lithium-induced renal damage in clinical practice.
