Bath Salts: A Newly Recognized Cause of Acute Kidney Injury

Abstract: Bath salts are substance of abuse that are becoming more common and are difficult to recognize due to negative toxicology screening. Acute kidney injury due to bath salt use has not previously been described. We present the case of a previously healthy male who developed acute kidney injury and dialysis dependence after bath salt ingestion and insufflation. This was self-reported with negative toxicology screening. Clinical course was marked by severe hyperthermia, hyperkalemia, rhabdomyolysis, disseminated in… Show more

“…27 The adverse effects produced by synthetic cathinones described in the scientific literature include hyperthermia or rhabdomyolysis, leading to acute renal injury. [28][29][30][31] However, the cellular mechanisms behind the nephrotoxic effects of synthetic cathinones are not yet known. Therefore, this work aimed to carry out a preliminary study to evaluate in vitro the cytotoxic potential of two cathinones in human kidney cells, derived from proximal tubules of kidneys (Hk-2).…”
