Lithium can affect the kidneys. It usually compromises kidney function to some extent, but the incidence of kidney failure is fairly low.
I think there are other risks (such as being overweight) which can be a side effect of lithium other medications for bipolar.
As mentioned, there are ways to minimize and detect kidney risks associated with lithium use.
