Abstract

Lithium is being used for the treatment of mental diseases and for the attenuation of muelosuppression during chemotherapy. As during long term lithium treatment kidney damage has been reported, we studied morphological alterations in cells of kidney origin after exposure to lithium chloride. Above the level of 4 mmol, lithium has fatal effects in CV1 cells while HeLa cells that are not originating from kidneys, tolerate higher lithium concentrations. Cellular morphology alters during treatment duration. At early stages, cells become flatter on their substrate and upon longer than 4 days treatment begin to detach from their substrate and eventually cell death comes in a concentration dependent manner. The only morphological alteration observed in a lymphoblastoid cell line was a statistically significant cellular swelling.
