Abstract
These are two cases of cocaine abuse with the following previously unr eported cocaine-associated features: 1) biopsy-proven accelerated/mali gnant hypertension, 2) association of cocaine with persistent hyperten sion, and 3) renal failure with rapid progression to end-stage renal d isease that did not reverse following blood pressure control.
