I’m only familiar with DXM (is an anaesthetic/NMDA antagonist and it causes severe pee retention), does it mean that or the opposite and you’re literally leaking?

*Disclaimer: Everything here is based on the pure, pharmacological, Ketamine used in medicine,not the shit you buy somewhere. * Ketamine, as long as it’s pure, does not damage the kidneys per se. But it wreaks havoc on the urinary system which then can lead to kidney damage.
Ketamine does cause chronic Zystitis(think of a chronic, but often not as massively painful, UTI) and damages to the ureter. This then, in the long run, causes Hydronephrosis by dilating the ureter - which then has the potential to cause kidney damage due to a backup of urine.
Additionally Ketamine’s common side effect is an increase in blood pressure that can absolutely cause kidney damage as well.
It shall be noted that this usually only occurs after using ketamine longer than one month.
