Lithium intoxication associated with acute renal failure.

摘要: Lithium can produce transient natriuresis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, and partial distal renal tubular acidosis. intoxication is commonly associated with mild insufficiency may acute failure. We have described a case of failure in patient severe lithium intoxication, as well cardiac arrhythmias hypothyroidism, both which been reported to occur toxicity. Treatment daily hemodialysis eventually produced complete recovery. clearance occurs quickly hemodialysis, but rebound effect intracellular water equilibrates extracellular fluid. Prolonged dialysis be required reduce the blood level therapeutic range. conclude that reversible result direct epithelial damage.
