TL;DR
These are two cases of cocaine abuse with the following previously unreported cocaine-associated features: 1) biopsy-proven accelerated/malignant hypertension, 2) association of cocaine with persistent hypertension, and 3) renal failure with rapid progression to end-stage renal disease that did not reverse following blood pressure control.
Abstract

New England Journal of MedicineRacial Differences in the Incidence of Treatment for End-Stage Renal Disease
400 Citations1982Stephen G. Rostand, Katharine A. Kirk +2 more
The number of patients undergoing treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has increased dramatically since 1973, when Medicare began funding its treatment and is now much greater than the number in the most economically and technologically advanced countries of Europe.
ScienceCocaine Plasma Concentration: Relation to Physiological and Subjective Effects in Humans
336 Citations1978J. I. Javaid, Marian W. Fischman +3 more
Volunteer subjects with previous histories of cocaine use were administered cocaine hydrochloride intravenously or intranasally and there was a positive relationship between peak plasma concentration, physiological and subjective responses, and dose administered.

307 Citations1991Robert L. Minor, Brook D. Scott +2 more
Experimental evidence suggests that cocaine has direct and indirect sympathomimetic effects on vascular smooth muscle, attenuates endothelium vasodilator capacity, exerts a potent depressant effect on cardiac myocytes, and promotes atherogenesis after chronic cocaine use.
New England Journal of MedicineAcute Rhabdomyolysis Associated with Cocaine Intoxication
270 Citations1988David Roth, F J Alarcón +3 more
It is concluded that cocaine intoxication can cause acute rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure, severe liver dysfunction, and disseminated intravascular coagulation and that the mortality rate among patients with this syndrome is high.

It is concluded that the pathogenesis of cocaine-related stroke is heterogeneous, and depends, in part, on the form of cocaine used.
American Journal of Kidney DiseasesRacial Differences in the Incidence of Hypertensive End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Are Not Entirely Explained by Differences in the Prevalence of Hypertension
155 Citations1988William McClellan, Elbert P. Tuttle +1 more
After adjusting rates of hypertensive ESRD for age, sex, and differences in the prevalence of hypertension by race, it is found black:white (B:W) relative risk still to be increased, providing further support for the possibility that there are racial differences inThe susceptibility to renal damage from elevated BP, which may explain increased risk for hypertensiveESRD in blacks.

The data indicate that black individuals are more prone to develop ESRD from glomerulonephritis, hypertension, and diabetic nephropathy, and racial factors are an important consideration in health care planning for E SRD treatment.

The suddenness and severity of onset appeared to be the distinguishing feature—the more sudden and severe the onset, the more likely a rapid progression into the malignant phase.
StrokeCentral nervous system infarction related to cocaine abuse.
95 Citations1991Michael Daras, Alan J. Tuchman +1 more
Traditional risk factors for strokes were identified in only six patients, suggesting that these factors are not necessary for the occurrence of a cocaine-related infarct.
