To highlight and discuss thyrotoxicosis after lithium withdrawal as a potential complication of lithium therapy for bipolar disorder.
Both patients presented developed thyrotoxicosis, the first patient after stopping the lithium completely, and the second patient after a reduction in the lithium dose.
Clinicians should be alert to the possibility of thyrotoxicosis emerging when lithium is being completely or partially withdrawn. Such withdrawal could unmask a latent hyperthyroidism.
强调并讨论停用锂盐后发生的甲状腺毒症,这是双相情感障碍锂盐治疗的一种潜在并发症。
两名患者均出现了甲状腺毒症,第一名患者在完全停用锂盐后出现,第二名患者在锂盐剂量减少后出现。
临床医生应警惕在完全或部分停用锂盐时出现甲状腺毒症的可能性。这种停药可能会使潜在的甲状腺功能亢进显现出来。
