Hi all,
For anyone interested in the question of the effects of lithium on kidney function (and structure), here is a review article which offers a discussion of the topic, as well as clinical guidelines as to when to terminate lithium therapy for nephrological reasons.
"Lithium and nephrotoxicity: a literature review of approaches to clinical management and risk stratification"
