    Lithium intoxication can cause sodium and water depletion, leading to elevated aldosterone. Impaired kidney function from lithium may increase susceptibility to intoxication.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Endocrinology
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Lithium is a mood stabilizer with potential renal toxicity.
    • Lithium intoxication presents with complex electrolyte and hormonal disturbances.
    • Understanding these derangements is crucial for effective patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the physiological changes in patients with lithium intoxication.
    • To assess the impact of lithium on renal function and fluid balance.
    • To explore the relationship between aldosterone levels and lithium toxicity.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of plasma aldosterone, serum proteins, electrolytes, and osmolality.
    • Measurement of creatinine and lithium clearances.
    • Monitoring of renal concentrating ability post-treatment.

    Main Results:

    • Patients presented with hyponatremia, decreased creatinine clearance, and elevated plasma aldosterone.
    • Treatment normalized aldosterone, serum protein, and sodium levels.
    • Reduced renal concentrating ability persisted in most patients post-recovery.

    Conclusions:

    • Lithium intoxication is associated with sodium and water depletion, potentially causing elevated aldosterone.
    • Impaired renal concentrating ability induced by lithium may predispose individuals to intoxication.
    • Early recognition and management of fluid and electrolyte balance are vital.
