ABSTRACT
Objectives:
Early kidney damage during lithium treatment in bipolar disorder is still hypothetical. We aimed at identifying the determinants of a decreased measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) and the accuracy of kidney MRI imaging in its detection.Methods:
In this cross-sectional cohort study, 217 consecutive lithium-treated patients underwent mGFR and kidney MRI with half-Fourier turbo spin-echo and Single-shot with long echo time sequences.Results:
Median age was 51 [27-62] years, and median lithium treatment duration was 5 [2-14] years. 52% of patients had a stage 2 CKD. In multivariable analysis, the determinants of a lower mGFR were a longer lithium treatment duration (ß -0.8 [-1; -0.6] ml/min/1.73 m2 GFR decrease for each year of treatment), a higher age (ß -0.4 [-0.6; -0.3] ml/min/1.73 m2 for each year of age, p < 0.001), albuminuria (ß -3.97 [-6.6; -1.3], p = 0.003), hypertension (ß -6.85 [-12.6; -1.1], p = 0.02) and hypothyroidism (ß -7.1 [-11.7; -2.5], p = 0.003). Serum lithium concentration was not associated with mGFR. Renal MRI displayed renal microcyst(s) in 51% of patients, detected as early as 1 year after lithium treatment initiation. mGFR and lithium treatment duration were strongly correlated in patients with microcyst(s) (r = -0.64, p < 0.001), but not in patients with no microcysts (r = -0.24, p = 0.09). The presence of microcysts was associated with the detection of an mGFR <45 ml/min/1.73 m2 (AUC 0.893, p < 0.001, sensitivity 80%, specificity 81% for a cut-off value of five microcysts).Conclusion:
Lithium treatment duration and hypothyroidism strongly impacted mGFR independently of age, especially in patients with microcysts. MRI might help detect early lithium-induced kidney damage and inform preventive strategies.
