UK Hospital Treats Youngsters for Ketamine-Induced Bladder Damage

A specialist clinic at Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool is now treating children as young as 13 for severe bladder problems caused by ketamine use. This marks the first such clinic in the UK dedicated to addressing the surge in urology issues linked to ketamine addiction among young people.

The "ketamine bladder" condition can be devastating, with some of the most severe cases requiring dialysis. The opening of this clinic highlights a growing concern among medical professionals regarding the impact of recreational drug use on the health of adolescents.
