It has been used as a recreational drug because of its low cost and hallucination effect in the past decade. Part of ketamine abusers may experience ketamine-related cystitis (KC) and suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms, including urinary frequency, urgency, and severe bladder pain. As the disease progression, a contracted bladder, petechial hemorrhage of the bladder mucosa, and ureteral stricture with hydronephrosis may occur. The pathophysiology of KC is still uncertain, although several hypotheses have been raised. Cessation of ketamine abuse is critical for the management of KC to prevent progressive disease, and effective treatment has not been established. Research has provided some theoretical bases for developing in vitro experiments, animal models, and clinical trials. This review summarized evidence of molecular mechanisms of KC and potential treatment strategies for KC. Further basic and clinical studies will help us better understand the mechanism and develop an effective treatment for KC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biology11040502","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,25]],"date-time":"2022-03-25T00:05:18Z","timestamp":1648166718000},"page":"502","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Molecular Pathophysiology and Potential Therapeutic Strategies of Ketamine-Related Cystitis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Chin-Li","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Cheng-Gung Road, Taipei 114, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheng-Tang","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Cheng-Gung Road, Taipei 114, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tai-Lung","family":"Cha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Cheng-Gung Road, Taipei 114, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guang-Huan","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Cheng-Gung Road, Taipei 114, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"En","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Cheng-Gung Road, Taipei 114, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department and Graduate Institute of Biochemistry, National Defense Medical Center, Cheng-Gung Road, Taipei 114, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.1080\/02791072.2007.10399861","article-title":"Patterns of ketamine use among young injection drug users","volume":"39","author":"Lankenau","year":"2007","journal-title":"J.
