The 75 participants were asked to provide 24-h urine samples; polyuria was defined as a urine volume greater than 3 litres per 24 h. Risk factors examined included demographic variables, medications and medical comorbidities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of polyuria among lithium users was 37%. Concomitant use of serotonergic antidepressants was strongly associated with polyuria (odds ratio 4.25, 95% CI 1.15\u201315.68) compared with patients not using these agents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our data confirm the high prevalence of lithium-induced polyuria. Physicians should be aware that concurrent use of serotonergic antidepressants and lithium significantly enhances the risk of its occurrence. Although limited polyuria is not harmful, it may be troublesome for the patient. In many cases cessation of lithium therapy is not an option because of difficulty in controlling the manic or depressive symptoms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.182.4.319","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,4,1]],"date-time":"2003-04-01T01:34:58Z","timestamp":1049160898000},"page":"319-323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Risk factors for the development of lithium-induced polyuria"],"prefix":"10.1192","volume":"182","author":[{"given":"K.
