Acute
Acute-on-chronic
Chronic

Acute• No tissue body burden
• Symptoms are predominately GI
• nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea.
• Progression can involve neuromuscular signs
• tremulousness, dystonia, hyperreflexia, and ataxia
• Cardiac dysrhythmias have been reported but rarely occur.
• The most common ECG finding is T-wave flattening
![Page 18: Osmolar Gap](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081414/554b5ae7b4c9051b458b4d55/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Acute-on-chronic
• Take lithium regularly and have sudden ingestion
• May display both GI and neurologic symptoms,
• Serum levels can be difficult to interpret
• Treated according to clinical manifestations
![Page 19: Osmolar Gap](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081414/554b5ae7b4c9051b458b4d55/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Chronic
• Large body burden of lithium
• Due to newly impaired renal excretion possibly via hypovolemia
• Primarily neurologic.
• Mental status is often altered
• From coma to seizures
• Syndrome of Irreversible Lithium-Effectuated NeuroToxicity (SILENT) such as cognitive impairment, sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, and cerebellar dysfunction.

• can cause a false positive assay for lactic acidosis
• thiamine and pyridoxime may shift ethylene glycol metabolsm to less toxic end-products

• 131 patients
• 20 exposed to ethylene glycol or methanol
• Using a cut-off of 10 mmol/kg
• sensitivity of 0.85
• specificity of 0.50
• cut-off of 20
• sensitivity 0.76
• specificity of 0.61

osmolar gap, normal anion gap
• mannitol
• causes acute renal failure from osmotic damage of proximal tubule cells
• increased risk of acute renal failure when the osmolar gap is over 55.
