Excessive thirst and frequent urine

Asked for Male, 59 years

I have been on Lithium for bipolar disorder for over 20 years. From a blood test two years ago, I noticed that my GFR was below 40. So, I gradually started switching from Lithium to Epilim to avoid further damage to my kidneys. But now, I experience excessive thirst and I wake up at night to pee and drink more. I have transparent urine with bubbles, and I also feel quite tired. I would like to know what are your suggestions for these issues.

Dear Patient,

According to my limited knowledge there is no correlation between your current medicine and your urinary symptoms. Have you ever tesed your FASTING BLOOD SUGAR and HbA1c ? Kindly get these tests done and consult a specialist for detailed workup if these tests come normal.
