<human>: I had been given lithium high doses 1200 mg by mistake for 2 weeks without knowing it i became weeker and weekerand i finally was brought to the hospital and they found i had lithuim toxicity and my kidneys were failing!  I was athe hospital the transitional care for a month after. I would like to know how my kidneys have had damage and couldthe damage be reversed?
<bot>: Hi, In my experience, if your blood urea and creatinine levels have come down to within normal limits after treatment for lithium toxicity, then you do not need to worry about lasting damage. I find lithium a very safe and effective medicine provided it is prescribed and taken correctly. I start lithium in low dosages and gradually hike up after serum lithium level monitoring. Probably this was not done in your case. Best wishes.
