Ketamine induced uropathy (KIU) is a urological condition increasing in prevalence, with similar symptoms to UTI, OAB syndrome or interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. We present the case of an 18-year old male who established severe LUTS and acute kidney injury due to KIU, in a short time-span of 6 months. Since cessation of ketamine is the cornerstone of treating KIU, correct and early diagnosis is essential. Physicians should therefore consider KIU as a differential diagnosis in storage LUTS, especially in younger patients with therapy-resistant LUTS.
氯胺酮诱发的尿路病(KIU)是一种患病率不断上升的泌尿系统疾病,其症状与尿路感染、膀胱过度活动症或间质性膀胱炎/膀胱疼痛综合征相似。我们报告了一例18岁男性患者,在短短6个月的时间内因KIU出现了严重的下尿路症状(LUTS)和急性肾损伤。由于停用氯胺酮是治疗KIU的基石,正确和早期诊断至关重要。因此,医生在诊断储尿期LUTS时应将KIU作为鉴别诊断,尤其是在治疗抵抗性LUTS的年轻患者中。
