Non-lithium-induced renal failure with secondary lithium toxicity: case reports.
Two manic-depressive patients are described who presented with acute renal failure and concurrent lithium toxicity. In both cases the etiology of the renal failure was not a direct result of the use of lithium. Controversy concerning the nephrotoxicity of lithium is discussed, and recommendations for the evaluation of renal failure during lithium therapy are provided.
