reabsorb the little lithium that is filtered. Hyponatremia also decreases lithium clearance, mostly via this latter mechanism. Therefore, first line treatment involves aggressive fluid resuscitation with normal saline. Use of diuretics is not recommended as these agents can lead to dehydration and hyponatremia, worsening lithium toxicity3-5.

induce hyponatremia either by increasing ADH release centrally or by the potentiation of ADH effect. Sodium valproate leads to hyponatremia through the mechanism of development of SIADH, whereas lithium has been associated with the development of paradoxical hyponatremia secondary to lithium-induced diabetes insipidus.
