Multiorgan dysfunction related to chronic ketamine abuse.

Joseph M Pappachan1, Binu Raj1, Sebastian Thomas1, Fahmy W Hanna1.   

Abstract

Ketamine abuse is being increasingly reported worldwide. The drug can produce a dissociative state and hallucinations, making ketamine a favorite recreational agent among drug addicts. Chronic ketamine abuse can damage many organs, including the brain, heart, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary system. We report a patient with chronic ketamine abuse who presented with severe cachexia, upper gastrointestinal involvement, hepatobiliary dysfunction, and acute kidney injury.
