AB095. SOH24AB_013. Perioperative nephrogenic diabetes insipidus secondary to long term lithium use: a case report and review of current guidelines

Background: We present the case of a 62-year-old female presenting for resection of a colorectal carcinoma, who developed nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in the perioperative period secondary to lithium use requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. This case highlights the risks associated with perioperative use of lithium, as well as the clinical features and management of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. We review current guidance regarding the management of lithium and discuss strategies for minimising risk of lithium related complications in the perioperative period.
