Purpose: The lithium disposition to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was evaluated in rats with acute renal failure (ARF) to examine whether electrolyte homeostasis of the CSF is perturbed by kidney dysfunction. In addition, the effects of renal failure on choroid plexial expressions of the Na+-K+-2Cl- co-transporter (NKCC1) and Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE1) were also studied.
Methods: After lithium was intravenously administered at a dose of 4 mmol/kg, its concentration profile in plasma was evaluated by collecting plasma specimens, while that in CSF was monitored with a microdialysis probe in the lateral ventricles.
