    Long-term lithium treatment for affective disorders did not affect kidney filtration. However, non-responders showed impaired kidney tubular function, highlighting the need for careful patient selection.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Psychiatry
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Lithium is a common treatment for recurrent affective disorders.
    • Long-term lithium use can potentially affect kidney function.
    • Understanding these effects is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess kidney function in patients on long-term lithium treatment.
    • To compare kidney function between lithium responders and non-responders.
    • To identify potential risks associated with lithium therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied creatinine clearance, maximum urinary osmolality, and 24-hour urine volume.
    • Compared kidney function indicators in excellent responders versus non-responders.
    • Analyzed data from a representative sample of patients with recurrent affective disorders.

    Main Results:

    • Long-term lithium treatment showed no detectable changes in glomerular filtration.
    • Non-responders exhibited a significant increase in 24-hour urine volume compared to responders.
    • Non-responders trended towards greater reduction in maximum urinary osmolality, indicating tubular impairment.

    Conclusions:

    • Lithium therapy did not impair glomerular filtration in either group.
    • Kidney tubular function impairment was more pronounced in lithium non-responders.
    • Careful patient selection is essential for long-term lithium stabilization to mitigate risks.
