[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 138779, member: 3"] Ketamine, a popular recreational drug whose abuse by young people, is associated with smaller bladder capacity, pelvic pain, and voiding frequency and urgency, according to new research presented at the 105th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA). Researchers from Hong Kong will share data on ketamine’s impact on urologic function from a community survey of teenagers with a history of using the drug. The study data will be presented to the media during a special press conference on Sunday, May 30 at 11:30 a.m. PDT. Researchers surveyed 66 teens and young adults, aged 13 to 25, through a series of clinic sessions. More than 97 percent had a history of ketamine abuse. The team administered a self-assessment survey examining pelvic pain, urgency and frequency, and conducted kidney ultrasound, post-void bladder scans and uroflowmetry studies on the patients. Subjects using ketamine more than five times per week reported detrimental effects on the bladder. Patients also self-reported the use of nimetazepam (51 percent), cocaine (45.7 percent) and cannabis (39.4 percent). Patients who had abused ketamine for more than 24 months had increased pelvic pain, urgency and frequency (6.16 vs. 3.92), and those who had used the drug more than five times per week had a markedly decreased bladder capacity (187.7 ml vs. 337 m.) compared to those who had a lower frequency of using the drug. Symptom scores improved in patients who ceased using the drug, and continued to improve over time. Those who had abstained for a full year had improved bladder capacity.
