Until I see if I can get permission I found this, which suggests the same sort of bladder and kidney issues as ketamine in rats.

Pretty much the same just worded more clearly.

More studies need to be done, as the doses given in this study are very high although it at least shows that it does indeed display the similar damage to that seen with heavy ketamine use at some point. It's important that people are able to accept that heavy MXE use may be hard on the kidneys and bladder, and to be careful as with any poorly studied substance... regardless of how much you like the drug.
EyesWideOpen was constantly put down and even harassed when he shared his experience just because people won't accept that MXE has any detrimental effects on the body, MXE is a drug... and like all drugs there can be negatives. At this point it seems a bit early to tell just how much of a problem this will be for long term, heavy users.
The study was
undertaken to examine the claim made by retailers that
methoxetamine is a ‘bladder friendly’ alternative to ketamine.
Chronic use of ketamine is associated with serious toxicity of
the renal system and bladder (Advisory Council on the Misuse
of Drugs, 2013; Li et al., 2013; Morgan and Curran, 2012). Two-
month-old Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were
administered either 30mg/kg of methoxetamine per day
(n=5) or saline control (n=3) by intraperitoneal injection for
three months. Hydropic degeneration in both the proximal and
distal convoluted tubules of the kidney and inflammatory cell
infiltration of the kidneys was seen in all the mice
administered methoxetamine; glomerular atrophy was seen in
three of these mice. Mononuclear cell infiltration in the
submucosal layer and in the muscle layer of bladder was seen
in all of the mice administered methoxetamine. None of the
above histological changes were seen in mice administered
the saline control.

Methoxetamine has been marketed to users as a ‘bladder
friendly’ alternative to ketamine. Since methoxetamine has
only been reported to be available and used for a relatively
short period of time compared to ketamine, there is currently
no human data to support or refute these claims. Using an
established animal model of ketamine toxicity, one published
study showed that three months of intraperitoneal
methoxetamine administration in mice was associated with
similar bladder and renal tract toxicity that have been seen in
similar animal models of chronic ketamine administration.
