Prevalence, pathogenesis, and treatment of renal dysfunction associated with chronic lithium therapy.

TL;DR: The data available to date do not support earlier concerns that long-term lithium therapy could eventuate into renal insufficiency, and it is estimated that glomerular filtration rate was normal in 85% of unselected patients on chronic lithium therapy.

On the mechanism of lithium-induced diabetes insipidus in man and the rat.

TL;DR: The present studies suggest that nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is a common finding after lithium treatment and results in part from interference with the mediation of vasopressin at a step distal to the formation of 3',5' cyclic AMP.

Lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus: in vivo and in vitro studies.

TL;DR: In vitro studies confirm that mucosal lithium inhibits the action of ADH, but not c-AMP, and demonstrate at least a nephrogenic basis for the diabetes insipidus syndrome manifested by three lithium-treated polyuric patients.

Lithium and leukocytosis

TL;DR: Peripheral blood specimens from 22 hospitalized psychiatric patients and one outpatient were examined for white blood cell count changes during treatment with lithium carbonate; a trend toward neutrophilia and lymphocytopenia emerged but cannot be said to account for the global change in total WBG.

Causes of reversible nephrogenic diabetes insipidus: a systematic review.

Treatment of Manic Illness with Lithium Carbonate

TL;DR: Since the first studies of the use of lithium in manic illnesses by Cade (1949), and Noack and Trautner (1951), other investigations have followed in Denmark, France, Italy and Germany, and reference is made to these by Schou (1959) in a recent review of 10 years'Use of lithium as psychiatric therapy.
