Cystine stones are a form of kidney stones that form due to the presence of a chemical called cystine. This chemical forms in the body as a result of a condition called cystinuria. Cystinuria is an inherited condition which causes chemical cystine i.e., an amino acid to form in the urine. The accumulation of this chemical can lead to the formation of cystine stones. Like all other types of kidney stones, these stones can vary in size, and may also differ in number. Patients with cystinuria can get multiple cystine stones during their lifetime. The symptoms of these stones aren’t quite different from that of other types of kidney stones. Patients with cystine stones can experience painful urination, blood in the urine, nausea, vomiting, and a sharp pain in their sides or lower back. A complication associated with cystine stones is urinary tract infections. Since these stones are typically larger than other types of kidney stones, they can get stuck and increase the risk of UTIs.
The treatment for cystine stones is based on the size of the stones, and consists of both conservative and non-conservative methods.

Before suggesting treatment for cystine stones, the doctors may perform a thorough diagnosis. This may consist of tests to locate the stones, and determine the size and number. Additionally, the tests may also be performed to rule out underlying health conditions that may cause complications during surgery. Listed below are some common tests and assessments involved in the diagnostic procedure for cystine stones.
Treatment for cystine stones is aimed at removing the existing stones, and reducing the amount of cystine in the urine to prevent more stones from forming. If the stone isn’t too big in size, the doctor may suggest conservative treatment including medication, therapy, and some home remedies to help the stones pass through the system. But, if the stones are big, block the urine flow and are causing painful symptoms, they may suggest treatment procedures. These procedures may be surgical or non-surgical based on the severity of the condition. Some common treatment procedures for cystine stone removal are as follows:

Recovery after cystine stones varies based on the type of surgery you have had. Most procedures performed for the removal of cystine stones are minimally-invasive, and are performed on an outpatients basis. The patient can go back home on the same day, after spending some time in the recovery room. However, some patients may have to stay in the hospital for longer, especially if there were any complications during surgery.
If you’ve consulted a urologist for your cystine stone treatment, and you’re planning to get treatment, you must ask them some important questions regarding your condition and treatment. Asking these questions will help you be more confident about treatment, and understand how knowledgeable and skilled the doctor is. Listed below are some questions that you should consider asking your doctor before your cystine stone treatment:
Several factors impact cystine stones treatment cost in India, including:
Yes. Most insurance companies in India cover cystine stones treatment in their health insurance and mediclaim policies. There may be a difference in the amount of coverage offered, so you must obtain clarity regarding that beforehand. Additionally, you must also ask them about the terms and conditions, and the claim procedure to get your claim seamlessly. Pristyn Care has a dedicated insurance team that provides complete assistance in the insurance claim process and makes the entire process effortless for the patients.
Cystine stones generally affect patients with an inherited condition called cystinuria, which passes down through family. The main cause is an accumulation of the amino acid called cystine. This chemical forms crystals that further combine and lead to the formation of stones.
The recovery period after cystine stone treatment varies for patients. The difference arises based on the type of treatment the patient has had, and how severe the condition was. Any complications during surgery can also cause the recovery time to increase. In general, recovery can take anywhere from a couple of days to weeks.
Yes. Most patients with cystinuria can expect multiple episodes of cystine stones during their lifetime.
Cystine stones form due to cystinuria, which is an inherited condition. Therefore, there’s no way to prevent these stones. However, eating a healthy diet, consuming ample fluids, and limiting alcohol consumption and smoking can help prevent them from recurring, and may cause them to pass through the system.
