CDC study links rising ER visits to cannabis hyperemesis syndrome in heavy marijuana users

A CDC analysis of emergency-department data from about 7,500 facilities finds diagnoses of cannabis hyperemesis syndrome rose 16% from October to May after a dedicated diagnosis code was introduced, with nearly 200,000 syndrome-related ER visits since January 2023. The surge is largest among people aged 15–24, teenage girls and women, and among Black Americans and American Indian/Alaska Native groups, suggesting underdiagnosis in the past and highlighting the need for greater awareness and further research into high-potency THC and hemp-derived products’ impact on younger users.

Recurrent Nephrolithiasis in Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome: A Case Study

Chronic cannabis use can lead to Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), a condition characterized by cyclic vomiting and abdominal pain, which can cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and renal failure, increasing the risk of nephrolithiasis or kidney stones. A recent case study highlights that CHS should be considered in chronic cannabis users with multiple episodes of vomiting and abdominal pain. Treatment for CHS includes IV fluid replacement, symptomatic management, and rehabilitation, with options like benzodiazepines, antiepileptics, and antipsychotics. The prevention of recurrent renal stones in CHS involves abstinence and adequate hydration. Healthcare professionals should monitor chronic cannabis users for potential complications.
