Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): changes in subjective symptoms (frequency of micturition); vital signs (body weight and blood pressure); blood levels of sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, lithium, creatinine, haemoglobin and osmolality; urine levels of sodium, potassium, osmolality, urea and creatinine in morning spot urine samples; side effects of acetazolamide treatment; and psychiatric outcome.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: All above mentioned items: - day -7, 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 42

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To study the effect of acetazolamide on lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus measured as urine volume and maximal urinary osmolality. ;Secondary Objective: To explore the possible changes in subjective symptoms (frequency of micturition); vital signs (body weight and blood pressure); blood levels of sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, lithium, creatinine, haemoglobin and osmolality; urine levels of sodium, potassium, osmolality, urea and creatinine in morning spot urine samples; side effects of acetazolamide treatment; and psychiatric outcome. ;Primary end point(s): urine volume and maximal urinary osmolality after dDAVP administration ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: urine volume: - daily (questionnaire) - day -7, 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 42 (24 h urine collection) maximal urinary osmolality after dDAVP administration: - day -7 and 28 (before and during treatment with acetazolamide)
