Children as young as 13 'with ketamine bladder', says new research

New research indicates children as young as 13 are being referred to a specialist clinic at Alder Hey in Liverpool for ketamine-induced uropathy. This severe and painful condition, linked to sustained ketamine use, has seen a surge in cases, with some patients requiring dialysis. The study shows that the majority of these young patients are girls from deprived areas. This facility represents the first clinic of its kind in the UK dedicated to treating young people.
