Abstract
Ketamine-induced cystitis is an increasingly recognized complication associated with the addictive use of ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic. This article provides a comprehensive overview, focusing on its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management strategies, and implications for addiction treatment. The British Association of Urological Surgeons consensus serves as a foundational reference for management, while additional literature is integrated to highlight the multifaceted nature of Ketamine Bladder and its impact on individuals with substance use disorders.
