Marijuana Use and Renal Function Among US Adults.

The American Journal of Medicine Home

“In recent years, the number of states that have legalized medical marijuana or retail sales has increased, bringing potential changes of marijuana use pattern among the general population. However, health effects of acute and chronic marijuana use on many relevant health outcomes, including renal function, remain largely unexamined.

In this study, we aimed to assess the association between recent and past marijuana use and renal function.

CONCLUSIONS:

We did not observe any clinically significant association between current or past self-reported marijuana use and measures of kidney function.”
