Therefore, there are complications associated with the consumption of these substances that otherwise, would be unusual to find in this population group. In this case report, we will review how the use of cocaine led a young patient to the development acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy, which in the histological findings may correspond to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, or tubulointerstitial disease either acute renal tubular necrosis or acute interstitial nephritis.
