ABSTRACT

El tratamiento con litio forma parte de la terapia habitual en las personas que sufren el trastorno bipolar. Habitualmente, aquellas madres que desean dar el pecho a sus hijos son sometidas a la disyuntiva entre modificar el tratamiento o bien administrar lactancia artificial. La administración de litio durante la lactancia materna se ha asociado con diversos efectos adversos en el lactante, tales como alteraciones tiroideas, hipotermia o hipotonía, entre otros. Son pocas las publicaciones en las que no se observan dichas anomalías en los lactantes. A continuación, se presenta el caso de un lactante amamantado por su madre en tratamiento con litio que no presentó alteraciones renales ni tiroideas.


Lithium therapy is currently a cornerstone of treatment for mothers who suffer bipolar disorders. Those who wish to breastfeed their children are often told they have to decide whether modifying the treatment for their disorder or even avoiding lactation. Lithium administration during breastfeeding has been described to produce certain side effects such as thyroid disorders, hypothermia and hypotonia. To our knowledge, there are few publications where infants have no laboratory abnormalities. Here we present the case of an infant without renal or thyroid alteration while he was breastfed.
