Nephrotoxicity of BZP-based herbal party pills: a New Zealand case report
Mohammed Alansari, David Hamilton

Abstract


Several serious side effects of the so-called ‘party pills’ have been documented, including severe agitation, seizures, paranoia, hyperthermia, abdominal pain, and cardiac arrhythmias.

Nephrotoxicity has been reported usually in association with rhabdomyolysis. This paper describes a 17-year-old New Zealand man who developed acute renal failure requiring haemodialysis in the absence of rhabdomyolysis.
