title: RBC choline and renal disorders during lithium treatment.
abstract: The authors measured RBC choline level, plasma choline level, and renal concentrating ability in 26 lithium-treated patients, seven psychiatric control subjects, and seven normal control subjects. An analysis of variance revealed no significant relationship between renal concentrating ability and either RBC choline level or RBC/plasma choline ratio.
