IN PATIENTS WITH RENAL IMPAIRMENT, LITHIUM DOSAGE SHOULD BE
CAREFULLY ADJUSTED TO AVOID TOXICITY (NEPHROGENIC DIABETES
INSIPIDUS, NEPHROTIC SYNDROME, RENAL TUBULAR ACIDOSIS,
CHRONIC INTERSTITIAL FIBROSIS).
SOME CLINICIANS RECOMMEND THAT THE DOSAGE REGIMEN BE ADJUSTED
BASED ON THE PATIENT'S CREATININE CLEARANCE:
CREATININE
CLEARANCE DOSAGE
(ML/MINUTE)
10-50 50 to 75% of normal
<10 25 to 50% of normal
