    This review assesses tests for kidney function in lithium-treated patients. Creatinine clearance and urine osmolality are highlighted as the most effective methods for monitoring glomerular and tubular function.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Pharmacology
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Lithium therapy is associated with potential renal toxicity.
    • Monitoring kidney function is crucial for patients on long-term lithium treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and evaluate tests used for assessing glomerular and tubular function in lithium-treated patients.
    • To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various renal function tests.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies assessing renal function in lithium-treated patients.
    • Analysis of diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of different tests.

    Main Results:

    • Creatinine clearance, predictable from serum creatinine, is a key indicator of glomerular function.

  • Urine osmolality measurement, with subsequent assessment of maximum urine concentrating ability, is valuable for tubular function evaluation.
  • Desamino cys-1-8-D arginine vasopressin can aid in assessing concentrating ability.

    • Conclusions:

    • Creatinine clearance and urine osmolality are the most useful tests for monitoring lithium's effects on kidney function.
    • A combination of these tests provides a comprehensive assessment of glomerular and tubular health.
