Cureus 14(6): e25931. doi:10.759/cureus.25931 Ketamine is a disociative anesthetic comonly used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia and has a wel-known role in analgesia. However, it also has the potential for adiction, which can lead to neurological, psychological, systemic, and biochemical consequences.
In this case report, we are highlighting a rare case of a young Asian female with Ketamine adiction who presented with urinary complaints. The patient was found to have hyponatremia and laboratory tests were consistent with a syndrome of inapropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) release in the absence of other causes.Ketamine is a noncompetive antagonist of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor [1].
It is distinct from other general anesthetics and drugs used for sedation and analgesia as it causes a trance-like cataleptic state characterized by profound unconsciousnes, amnesia, dep analgesia with retention of ocular, protective airway reflexes, and cardiopulmonary stability [2]. Ketamine is also famous a disociative anesthetic. Ketamine is available in liquid and powder form and is being abused by many individuals [3].
