Bilateral renal cortical necrosis associated with smoking synthetic cannabinoids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Synthetic cannabinoids have become a common drug of abuse in recent years and their toxicities have come to light as well. They are known to be notorious for the kidneys, with acute tubular necrosis, acute interstitial nephritis and rhabdomyolysis induced renal injury being the frequent nephrotoxic outcomes in users. We report a case of bilateral renal cortical necrosis, leading to irreversible renal damage and lifelong dialysis dependency.

It typically evolves bilaterally, although a few unilateral RCN cases have been reported in patients with unilateral hydronephrosis or arterial stenosis. We encountered a case of bilateral RCN, including limited RCN in a ...

The use of synthetic cannabinoids (SCBs) is associated with many severe adverse effects that are not observed with marijuana use. We report a unique case of a patient who developed rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis after use of SCBs combined with quetiapine. Causes for the different adverse effects profile between SCBs and marijuana are not defined yet. Cases repor...
