INTRODUCTION
Recreational drug use and its overdose is increasing exponentially in
the United States1. One of the commonly abused drugs,
MDMA, is a party drug among adolescents and young adults in so-called
’raves2. MDMA has a varying range of toxicities
ranging from irritability, muscle cramps, and chills to life-threatening
conditions such as Disseminated Intravascular coagulation, hyperthermia,
rhabdomyolysis and AKI.3 Rhabdomyolysis has been
reported to be caused by several drugs with MDMA being one of the major
contributors4. Several cases have been reported of
mortality due to AKI and hyperkalemia caused by rhabdomyolysis and
hyperkalemia in acute settings.5 However, delayed
rhabdomyolysis has not been reported widely. We present one such case of
delayed onset AKI due to rhabdomyolysis.
