Persistent nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, hyperparathyroidism, and hypothyroidism after lithium treatment.

Lithium intoxication-induced acute parkinsonism complicated with hyperparathyroidism and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus: report of a case.

OBJECTIVE To describe a patient with lithium intoxication presenting as acute parkinsonism, adverse metabolic effects and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (DI). CASE REPORT We report a case of a 67-year-old woman with a bipolar affective disorder who was treated with lithium for 10 years.

Lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

BACKGROUND Lithium can cause nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in up to 20 to 40 percent of patients currently taking the medication, and a subset of these patients will have a persistent concentrating defect long after lithium is discontinued. They are at risk for serious hypernatremia when fluid intake is restricted for any reason. METHODS MEDLINE as used to search the key words "nephrogenic d...

Persistent nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, tubular proteinuria, aminoaciduria, and parathyroid hormone resistance following longterm lithium administration.

We report a patient who developed persistent nephrogenic diabetes insipidus associated with renal tubular acidosis, renal resistance to parathyroid hormone, aminoaciduria and proximal tubule pattern proteinuria in the presence of a reduced glomerular filtration rate (19-24 ml/min). A review of the previous reports of persistent nephrogenic diabetes insipidus revealed that in all patients the gl...
