Ketamine is increasingly used as a recreational drug. The report outlines the various multi-organ dysfunctions identified following chronic abuse in a 24-year-old patient with no significant past medical history and the subsequent patient management. Besides ketamine cessation, other treatments only provide suboptimal relief to the damage inflicted by the toxic ketamine metabolites.

Abstract

Ketamine is increasingly used as a recreational drug. The report outlines the various multi-organ dysfunctions identified following chronic abuse in a 24-year-old patient with no significant past medical history and the subsequent patient management. Besides ketamine cessation, other treatments only provide suboptimal relief to the damage inflicted by the toxic ketamine metabolites.
