[PMID: 38431685 PMCID: PMC10909254 DOI: 10.1186/s13256-024-04421-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Anesthesiologists prefer ketamine for certain surgeries due to its effectiveness as a non-competitive inhibitor of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor in the brain. Recently, this agent has also shown promise as an antidepressant. However, ketamine can cause hallucinogenic effects and is sometimes abused as an illicit drug. Ketamine abuse has been associated with liver and bile duct complications. This systematic study aims to better understand cholangiopathy in ketamine abusers by reviewing case reports. METHODS AND MATERIAL In this systematic review, a comprehensive literature search was conducted with the terms "biliary tract diseases" and "ketamine". Case reports and case series of adult patients with documented ketamine abuse and reported cholangiopathy or biliary tract disease were included. We extracted the data of relevant information and the results were reported through narrative synthesis and descriptive statistics. RESULTS A total of 48 studies were initially identified, and 11 studies were finally included in the review. The mean age of the patients was 25.88 years. Of the 17 patients, 64.7% were men. Symptoms often included abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Most patients were discharged with improved symptoms and liver function. Common bile duct dilation and other findings were observed in imaging results and other diagnostic studies. CONCLUSION This review highlights the diverse presentations and diagnostic modalities used in ketamine-induced cholangiography. These patients tend to be young men with deranged liver function tests and abdominal pain, which should be taken into consideration. These patients often require a multidisciplinary approach in their management.

Ketamine restriction correlates with reduced cholestatic liver injury and improved outcomes in critically ill patients with burn injury. JHEP Rep 2024; 6:100950. [PMID: 38304235 PMCID: PMC10832380 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhepr.2023.100950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Background & Aims Ketamine-associated cholestatic liver injury is reported in patients with severe burn injury, but its association with patient outcome is unclear. We investigated the relationship between ketamine exposure, cholestatic liver injury, and outcome of critically ill patients with burn injury. Methods In a retrospective study, patients with severe burn injury were analysed across two periods: unrestricted ketamine prescription (ketamine-liberal) and capped ketamine dosage (ketamine-restricted). The primary endpoint was cholestatic liver injury, and the secondary endpoint was 3-month mortality. Binary logistic regression models and the revised electronic causality assessment method were used to measure the strength of associations and causality assessment, respectively. Results Of 279 patients (median age 51 [IQR 31-67] years; 63.1% men; burned surface area 28.5%, IQR 20-45%), 155 (56%) were in the ketamine-liberal group, and 124 (44%) were in the ketamine-restricted group, with comparable clinical characteristics, except for ketamine exposure (median doses 265.0 [IQR 0-8,021] mg and 20 [IQR 0-105] mg, respectively; p <0.001). A dose- and time-dependent relationship was observed between ketamine exposure and cholestatic liver injury. Ketamine restriction was associated with a reduced risk of cholestatic liver injury (adjusted odds ratio 0.16, 95% CI 0.04-0.50; p = 0.003) and with a higher probability of 3-month survival (p = 0.035). The revised electronic causality assessment method indicated that ketamine was probably and possibly the cause of cholestatic liver injury for 14 and 10 patients, respectively. Cholangitis was not observed in the ketamine-restricted group. In propensity-matched patients, the risk of 3-month mortality was higher (adjusted odds ratio 9.92, 95% CI 2.76-39.05; p = 0.001) in patients with cholestatic liver injury and ketamine exposure ≥10,000 mg. Other sedative drugs were not associated with liver and patient outcome. Conclusions In this cohort, ketamine restriction was associated with less cholestatic liver injury and reduced 3-month mortality. Impact and implications In a cohort of 279 critically ill patients with burn injury, ketamine was associated with a risk of liver bile duct toxicity. The risk was found to be dependent on both the dosage and duration of ketamine use. A restriction policy of ketamine prescription was associated with a risk reduction of liver injury and 3-month mortality. These findings have implications for the analgesia and sedation of critically ill patients with ketamine, with higher doses raising safety concerns.

[PMID: 38276001 PMCID: PMC10820504 DOI: 10.3390/ph17010016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Ketamine as an old-new drug has a variety of clinical implications. In the last 30 years, ketamine has become popular for acute use in humans. Ketamine in standard doses is principally utilized for the induction and maintenance of surgical procedures. Besides its use in anesthesia and analgesia, recent studies have shown that ketamine has found a place in the treatment of asthma, epilepsy, depression, bipolar affective disorders, alcohol and heroin addiction. Ketamine primarily functions as a noncompetitive antagonist targeting the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, but its mechanism of action is complex. It is generally regarded as safe, with low doses and short-term use typically not leading to significant adverse effects. Also, ketamine is known as a powerful psychostimulant. During the past decade, ketamine has been one of the commonly abused drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ketamine uropathy causes inflammatory changes to the urothelium, manifesting as significant lower urinary tract symptoms, small bladder capacity, and pelvic pain. Upper tract involvement and hydronephrosis can occur. Data from UK centers are limited, and no formal treatment guidelines exist. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients with ketamine uropathy presenting to our unit over an 11-year period were identified through operative and clinic lists, emergency presentations, and a prospectively collected local database. Demographic data, biochemical findings, imaging techniques, and both medical and surgical management were recorded. RESULTS A total of 81 patients with ketamine uropathy were identified from 2011 to 2022; however, a large proportion presented from 2018 onwards. The average age at presentation was 26 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 27-34), 72.8% were male, and average follow-up time was 34 months (IQR: 8-46). Therapeutic interventions included anticholinergic medication, cystodistension, and intravesical sodium hyaluronate. Hydronephrosis was present in 20 (24.7%) patients and nephrostomy insertion was required in six. One patient underwent bladder augmentation surgery. Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase and length of follow-up were significantly higher in patients with hydronephrosis. Adherence to follow-up was poor. CONCLUSIONS We present a large cohort of patients with ketamine uropathy from a small town in the UK which is unusual. The incidence appears to be rising, in-keeping with increasing recreational ketamine use and should be of concern to urologists. Abstinence is a key aspect of management, and a multi-disciplinary approach works best particularly as many patients are lost to follow-up. The development of formal guidance would be helpful.

Secondary Sclerosing Cholangitis After SARS-CoV2: ICU Ketamine Use or Virus-Specific Biliary Tropism and Injury in the Context of Biliary Ischemia in Critically Ill Patients? Hepat Med 2023; 15:93-112.

Abstract
Purpose From the beginning of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus-2 (SARS-CoV2) pandemic, different cases of a cholangiopathy with features of secondary sclerosing cholangitis in critically ill patients (SSC-CIP) have been reported. Patients developing it are generally recovering from severe Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) and required intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mechanical ventilation. Many of them have been administered with ketamine during their ICU stay. The pathogenesis of this novel disease is still debated, and, since prognosis is poor, efforts are needed in order to better understand it. Patients and Methods In this review, we focused our attention on COVID-19 SSC clinical, imaging, and histology findings in order to clarify the different pathogenetic options, particularly in regard of the ischemic-direct viral damage and ketamine-related theories, beginning with a recapitulation of SSC-CIP and ketamine-induced cholangiopathy in abusers. The research has been conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Key-words were "Secondary Sclerosing Cholangiopathy", "SSC-CIP", "Secondary Sclerosing Cholangiopathy in critically ill patients", "Ketamine and cholangiopathy", "Ketamine abusers and liver disease", "Ketamine-related cholangiopathy", "SARS-CoV2 infection and liver disease", "post Covid-19 secondary sclerosing cholangitis", "Covid-19 cholangiopathy". Results Many authors, based on the clinical, histological, imaging, and prognostic features of the disease, have pointed out the similarities between post COVID-19 SSC and SSC-CIP; however, peculiar features in the former were not previously observed. Therefore, a direct viral cytopathic action and SARS-CoV2-related coagulopathy are considered the most likely causes. On the other hand, ketamine, with the available data, cannot be surely linked as the main determinant cause of cholangiopathy. Moreover, ketamine-induced cholangitis (KIC) presentation is different from post COVID-19 SSC. Its role as a cofactor precipitating the disease cannot be ruled out. Conclusion Post COVID-19 SSC is a rare clinical entity following severe COVID-19 disease. The most accepted theory is that a sum of different insults determines the disease: biliary ischemia, direct viral damage, toxic bile, possibly worsened by ketamine and hyperinflammation due to the cytokine storm. Given the severe prognosis of the disease, with persistent cholangiopathy, organ failure, and orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), further study on this novel clinical entity is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the possible influence of prolonged ketamine (K) or esketamine (ESK) infusion on the profile of liver cholestatic biomarkers in patients with COVID-19 infection. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 135 patients with COVID-19 related ARDS who received prolonged K or ESK infusion. They were compared to 15 COVID-19 ICU patients who did not receive K/ESK while being mechanically ventilated and 108 COVID-19 patients who did not receive mechanical ventilation nor K/ESK. The profile of the liver function tests was analysed in the groups. RESULTS Peak values of ALP, GGT and bilirubin were higher in the K/ESK group, but not for AST and ALT. Peak values of ALP were significantly higher among patients who underwent mechanical ventilation and who received K/ESK, compared with mechanically ventilated patients who did not receive K/ESK. There was a correlation between these peak values and the cumulative dose and duration of K/ESK therapy. CONCLUSIONS Based on the observations of biliary anomalies in chronic ketamine abusers, prolonged exposure to ketamine sedation during mechanical ventilation may also be involved, in addition to viral infection causing secondary sclerosing cholangitis. The safety of prolonged ketamine sedation on the biliary tract requires further investigations.

Long-term ketamine infusion-induced cholestatic liver injury in COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome. Crit Care 2022; 26:148. [PMID: 35606831 PMCID: PMC9125956 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-022-04019-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background A higher-than-usual resistance to standard sedation regimens in COVID-19 patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has led to the frequent use of the second-line anaesthetic agent ketamine. Simultaneously, an increased incidence of cholangiopathies in mechanically ventilated patients receiving prolonged infusion of high-dose ketamine has been noted. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate a potential dose–response relationship between ketamine and bilirubin levels. Methods Post hoc analysis of a prospective observational cohort of patients suffering from COVID-19-associated ARDS between March 2020 and August 2021. A time-varying, multivariable adjusted, cumulative weighted exposure mixed-effects model was employed to analyse the exposure–effect relationship between ketamine infusion and total bilirubin levels. Results Two-hundred forty-three critically ill patients were included into the analysis. Ketamine was infused to 170 (70%) patients at a rate of 1.4 [0.9–2.0] mg/kg/h for 9 [4–18] days. The mixed-effects model revealed a positively correlated infusion duration–effect as well as dose–effect relationship between ketamine infusion and rising bilirubin levels (p < 0.0001). In comparison, long-term infusion of propofol and sufentanil, even at high doses, was not associated with increasing bilirubin levels (p = 0.421, p = 0.258). Patients having received ketamine infusion had a multivariable adjusted competing risk hazard of developing a cholestatic liver injury during their ICU stay of 3.2 [95% confidence interval, 1.3–7.8] (p = 0.01). Conclusions A causally plausible, dose–effect relationship between long-term infusion of ketamine and rising total bilirubin levels, as well as an augmented, ketamine-associated, hazard of cholestatic liver injury in critically ill COVID-19 patients could be shown. High-dose ketamine should be refrained from whenever possible for the long-term analgosedation of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Drug-induced bile duct injury can be caused by a long list of agents. In most cases, damage is because of T-cell-mediated idiosyncratic reactions. Recently, a number of new agents, including not only drugs but also herbal supplements, have been incriminated and new mechanisms of bile duct injury have emerged. This review will focus on these new data. RECENT FINDINGS New members of drug families already known to be responsible for bile duct injury have been incriminated. New players have been identified, such as herbal supplements, like kratom, and recreational drugs, such as ketamine used outside the medical setting. Anticytokine monoclonal antibodies are rarely involved. In contrast, antineoplastic treatments are of growing concern, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors, which induce immune-related adverse effects because of the excessive stimulation of the immune system and its lack of regulation. SUMMARY Two patterns of bile duct injury are recognized. Drug-induced small-duct cholangiopathies target the smaller bile ducts; acute injuries eventually progress to chronic disease in the form of the vanishing bile duct syndrome. Drug-induced sclerosing cholangitis target large bile ducts, with a protracted chronic course; the onset of symptoms may be delayed after drug discontinuation; potentially severe, life-threatening complications can occur.

Abstract
Ketamine is a versatile analgesic that has become an increasingly popular recreational drug. Chronic ketamine use has been found to cause biliary duct damage and bladder dysfunction. Ketamine-induced cholangiopathy and ulcerative cystitis are uncommon diagnoses presenting with nonspecific symptoms, creating diagnostic challenges for emergency physicians. We report a case of a teenage patient with the rare simultaneous presentation of ketamine-induced cholangiopathy and ulcerative cystitis. Due to increased recreational and chronic ketamine use, cases of ketamine-induced cholangiopathy and ulcerative cystitis are likely to rise with the increased knowledge, awareness, and reporting of these entities by radiologists and emergency physicians.

Abstract
Purpose of Review- Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) can present with a variable clinical and pathological phenotype and can be classified using liver enzymes as hepatocellular, cholestatic or a mixed pattern. The cholestatic pattern has been considered amongst the spectrum of direct liver damage at the microscopic level, but recently bile duct injury as a manifestation of DILI has emerged as a distinct entity and this review examines several examples of biliary tract abnormalities due to DILI from a clinical, radiologic and pathologic perspective. Recent Findings- Case series and reports have emerged over the last few years of drugs causing cholangiographic changes or direct injury to the intra-and extra-hepatic biliary tree, such as ketamine and several chemotherapy agents. The DILI Network (DILIN) in the United States has published their experience of cases with vanishing bile duct syndrome on histology and sclerosing cholangitis like changes seen on cholangiography. The pathogenesis of these changes is unclear but it appears that this type of injury is more severe and more likely to lead to a chronic injury with increased mortality than other cases of DILI. Summary- Bile duct injury due to DILI is an increasingly recognized entity and imaging of the biliary tree in conjunction with liver biopsy should be considered in patients with severe cholestatic DILI.
