ABSTRACT

The use of illegal drugs, especially cocaine, is a common practice nowadays in urban zones around the world. The study of damaging effects of cocaine has been focused in the nervous and cardiovascular system, especially in its myocardial effects. The renal complications related to the use of cocaine have received poor attention, despite of existence of several mechanisms, besides secondary arterial hypertension, through which acute renal failure can be produced, or complicate a case of preexisting chronic renal failure. The objective of this review is to show, from a pathophysiologic point of view, that the use of cocaine plays an important role in the development of a nephropathy.
