Although lithium (LIT) therapy is key in managing bipolar disorder long-term, prolonged use significantly contributes to acquired Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus (NDI). This study examined whether combining Silymarin (SIL) with Vitamin C (Vit C) enhances protection against lithium-induced nephrotoxicity in rats, comparing their individual antioxidant effects as well. Rats subjected to Li exposure were provided with a standard commercial diet supplemented with 80 mmol LiCl per kilogram for 28 days.

Lithium (Li) therapy is a valuable tool in psychiatric practice that remains underutilized due to safety concerns. Excessive plasma Li levels are nephrotoxic and can trigger a local immune response. Our understanding of the immunomodulatory effects of Li in the kidney is fragmentary.

Antidepressants, including duloxetine, are a significant cause of drug-induced hyponatremia, which can disrupt the continuation of medication. Tolvaptan is beneficial for correcting hyponatremia caused by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis, but its impact on duloxetine-induced hyponatremia remains unknown. We used male Sprague-Dawley rats to examine the impact of duloxetine treatment on lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (Li-NDI) and to evaluate whether the results were reversed by co-treatment with tolvaptan.

Article Synopsis
  • Nephrogenic diabetic insipidus (NDI), especially when linked to lithium ingestion, is challenging to manage clinically, with traditional treatments often yielding minimal improvement.
  • *Celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, was successfully used to treat a 46-year-old woman with lithium-induced NDI, resulting in significant improvement in her symptoms without adverse effects.
  • *This case suggests celecoxib could be a promising alternative treatment for managing lithium-induced NDI, warranting further investigation in clinical settings.

Article Synopsis
  • * Treatment usually includes thiazide diuretics and NSAIDs, with mixed results for desmopressin.
  • * In a case study of a 71-year-old woman, thiazide diuretics and NSAIDs cut urine output by 40%, while desmopressin further reduced it by 70%, indicating it may be a useful treatment.
