Summary:Ketamine induced uropathy has become a new bladder pain syndrome affecting the bladder, kidney, and quality of life in ketamine abusers. Ketamine-associated cystitis (KC) is an emerging public health concern, particularly among young adults who abuse ketamine recreationally and, to a lesser extent, in patients receiving ketamine therapeutically for depression. Although currently rare in clinical psychiatry, the incidence of KC might rise as ketamine-based therapies become more prevalent. This manuscript reviews recent knowledge in the ketamine induced uropathy and potential clinical implications.
