Resumen

Reportamos el caso de una paciente de sexo femenino de 70 años que ingresa al hospital por síntomas neurológicos asociados a intoxicación por litio con una litemia de 2,6 mEq/L. La paciente pese a la suspensión del fármaco e infusión de cristaloides persistió con temblor, somnolencia y desorientación por lo que finalmente se optó por la terapia extracorpórea, hemodiálisis intermitente, para remover el litio del organismo y sus compartimentos
