We previously reported the contribution of sodium-phosphate cotransporter to the tubular reabsorption of lithium in rats. In the present study, the dose dependency of the renal handling of lithium was examined in rats. When lithium chloride at 1.25mg/kg, 2.5mg/kg and 25mg/kg was intravenously injected as a bolus, the areas under the plasma concentration-time curve of lithium until 60minutes were calculated to be 6.23mEqmin/l, 8.77mEqmin/l and 64.6mEqmin/l, respectively. The renal clearance of lithium and its fractional excretion increased with increments in the dose administered. The renal clearance of lithium strongly correlated with the urinary excretion rate of phosphate in the 1.25mg/kg group (r = 0.840) and 2.5mg/kg group (r = 0.773), whereas this correlation was weak in the 25mg/kg group (r = 0.306). The infusion of foscarnet, a typical inhibitor of sodium-phosphate cotransporter, decreased the fractional reabsorption of lithium in rats administered lithium chloride at 2.5mg/kg, but did not affect it in rats administered 25mg/kg. These results demonstrate the nonlinearity of the renal excretion of lithium in rats, with the saturation of lithium reabsorption by the sodium-phosphate cotransporter potentially being involved.
