A New Enemy of the Kidneys: Synthetic Cannabinoids

Abstract

Exposure to many different types of substances and drugs may cause acute kidney injury. Beyond the historical well-known ones, we have been experiencing some new, potentially dangerous molecules in recent years and unfortunately among the young population. In this paper, we have presented a case who, following synthetic cannabinoid (Bonsai) use, developed acute kidney injury, received temporary hemodialysis therapy, and fully recovered during follow-up.
