Trial summary

Lithium (Li+) is prescribed to 1‰ of the French population (~ 60,000 patients). More than half of patients describe subjective symptoms linked to Li+ (SSL) similar to those of chronic fatigue syndrome: muscle weakness, fatigability, cognitive disorders, emotional blunting.

About this study

Lithium (Li+) is prescribed to 1‰ of the French population (~ 60,000 patients). More than half of patients describe subjective symptoms linked to Li+ (SSL) similar to those of chronic fatigue syndrome: muscle weakness, fatigability, cognitive disorders, emotional blunting. SSL are the 2nd cause of stopping Li+ (28%), just behind kidney problems (30%).

In animals, the administration of lithium (Li+) increases the urinary excretion of phosphate (Pi) by 6, inducing phosphate diabetes (DPi). However, idiopathic forms of DPi explain up to 10-15% of chronic fatigue syndromes and these disappear when supplementing with Pi (± vitamin D).

Read more

In humans, the introduction of Li+ leads to a reduction in serum phosphate but we have not found any publication on the possible induction of DPi or on a possible link between DPi and SSL.

However, the dosages necessary to detect a DPi are carried out during the annual follow-up assessment of patients on Li+. All you have to do is calculate the standardized maximum reabsorption rate of Pi (TmPi) to make the diagnosis! Finally, if the patients presenting with DPi turn out to be the same as those who complain of SSL, we can imagine that correcting the first by simple supplementation with Pi (± vitamin D) could provide relief.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of hypophosphatemia, DPi and SSL in a population of ambulatory patients controlled on Li+ (> 6 months).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of hypophosphatemia, DPi and SSL at the population level.

    The prevalence is determined retrospectively on a population balanced on lithium (Li+) for more than 6 months.

    Measured: from 6 months after lithium treatment (Li+)

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jack FOUCHER, MD, PhD (33 3 88 11 69 21, jack.foucher@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of hypophosphatemia, DPi and SSL at the population level. (time frame: from 6 months after lithium treatment (Li+)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
