英国利物浦Alder Hey儿童医院开设了该国首家针对年轻人的氯胺酮诊所，专门治疗长期使用该药物引起的膀胱问题1。对前60名患者的分析表明，患者年龄最小仅13岁，平均年龄为14岁，其中约三分之二为女孩1。该研究发现，大约三分之二的患者居住在最贫困地区1。
这一疾病可导致严重的身体症状，包括尿频、膀胱失控和血尿，部分患者已需使用失禁垫并在床边用桶排尿1。医学专家Harriet Corbett指出，氯胺酮造成的损伤"可能是毁灭性的"，可引发膀胱溃疡、纤维化等不可逆转的后果1。严重情况下患者需接受手术或透析治疗1。
对患者群体的深入分析显示，60名患者中16人患有自闭症或注意力缺陷多动障碍，五分之一有寄养经历，而72%在童年期经历过情感创伤1。这项分析结果已发表在《儿童疾病档案》医学期刊上1。
Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool has opened the UK's first dedicated clinic to treat young people suffering severe bladder complications caused by prolonged ketamine use.1 An analysis of the clinic's first 60 patients revealed cases involving children as young as 13 years old, with a mean age of 14.1 Approximately two-thirds of the patients were girls, and roughly two-thirds lived in the most deprived areas.1
The condition produces debilitating symptoms including frequent urination, incontinence, and blood in the urine, with some patients resorting to incontinence pads and bedside buckets for toileting.1 Among the 60 patients studied, 16 had diagnoses of autism or ADHD, one-fifth had experienced foster care, and 72 percent had endured emotional trauma during childhood.1 Medical expert Harriet Corbett warned that ketamine-induced damage "can be devastating," potentially causing bladder ulceration, fibrosis, and irreversible consequences.1 In severe cases, the condition may require surgical intervention or dialysis treatment.1 The findings were published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood medical journal.1
