Q

what may patients on lithium develop/

A

scattered uniform micro cysts

(the renal salts cause direct damage to the renal tubules, this results in progressive decline in renal function . This results in tubular atrophy, glomerulosclerosis, chronic interstitial nephritis, and distal tubular dilatation with microcyst formation)
