Fatal self-poisoning with lithium carbonate.
In a fatal case of self-poisoning with lithium carbonate there was a progressive increase in serum lithium concentration for 48 hours after ingestion of the overdose. It is suggested that the continuous increase in serum lithium concentration reflects prolonged absorption of lithium from relatively insoluble aggregates of lithium carbonate in the gastrointestinal tract. In this case there was a...
متن کاملLithium Poisoning.
Lithium is a commonly prescribed treatment for bipolar affective disorder. However, treatment is complicated by lithium's narrow therapeutic index and the influence of kidney function, both of which increase the risk of toxicity. Therefore, careful attention to dosing, monitoring, and titration is required. The cause of lithium poisoning influences treatment and 3 patterns are described: acute,...
متن کاملVery severe self-poisoning lithium carbonate intoxication causing a myocardial infarction.
A case of severe lithium carbonate self-poisoning is described, presenting with a very high serum lithium level (14.6 mmol/L) on admission. Lengthy and repeated hemodialyses were required to lower lithemia to nontoxic ranges. As is usually reported, our patient had prolonged neurologic manifestations (coma, hyperreflexia, fluctuating focal signs) and developed hypotension, cardiovascular collap...
متن کاملLithium carbonate--a competitive aldosterone antagonist?
Plasma renin activity (PRA), aldosterone (aldo) levels, electrolyte levels, and blood pressures were measured in 16 patients with affective disorders taking lithium prophylactically, and in 16 age and sex-matched control subjects. PRA and aldo levels were significantly elevated in the lithium-treated group. There was no difference between the groups in plasma electrolytes or erect and supine bl...
متن کاملIntestinal vasculitis and lithium carbonate-associated diarrhoea.
Lithium carbonate is now frequently used in the treatment of both unipolar and bipolar manic depressive states. It is generally thought that the adverse reactions of this drug are associated with plasma levels above the therapeutic range of 0.8-1.2 mmol/ litre, but they may also be associated with long-term usage of the medication within the recommended plasma concentrations. (Persson, 1977). T...
