Cystinuria is an inherited disorder caused by genetic mutations resulting in defective reabsorption of cystine in the renal tubules. Excess cystine, which is poorly soluble in urine, precipitates to form kidney stones. These cystine stones are among the hardest and most recurrent of all kidney stones, typically beginning in childhood or early adulthood. Patients require lifelong management including high fluid intake, dietary sodium and protein restriction, urinary alkalinization, and chelating agents to increase cystine solubility. Surgical intervention using ureteroscopy, PCNL, or open surgery may be needed for large or obstructing stones. Pristyn Care provides specialized cystinuria management combining medical and surgical expertise for optimal long-term outcomes.

Risk factors for severe cystinuria-related stone disease include:
Cystinuria affects approximately 1 in 7000 people and is equally prevalent in males and females. Patients with homozygous mutations have the most severe disease with higher urinary cystine excretion and greater stone burden. First-degree relatives of affected patients should also be screened.
Diagnosis of cystinuria-related stone disease involves:
Treatment of cystinuria requires both medical prevention and surgical stone removal. Medical management includes high fluid intake over 3 liters daily, dietary sodium and protein restriction, urinary alkalinization with potassium citrate to maintain urine pH above 7.0, and chelating agents such as tiopronin for refractory cases. Surgical treatment using ureteroscopy, PCNL, or open surgery is used for symptomatic or large stones.
Surgical management of cystine stones in cystinuria includes:
Post-operative and long-term care for cystinuria stone management includes:
Complications of cystinuria-related stone disease include:
Cystinuria is a genetic disorder causing excessive excretion of cystine in the urine. Since cystine is poorly soluble, it precipitates into hard stones. Unlike other kidney stones, cystinuria requires lifelong specialized medical management to prevent recurrence.
Cystinuria cannot be cured as it is a genetic condition. However, stone formation can be significantly reduced with lifelong high fluid intake, dietary modifications, urinary alkalinization, and chelating agents when needed. Regular monitoring is essential.
Medical treatment with high fluid intake, low-sodium low-protein diet, and potassium citrate is first-line. For large or obstructing stones, PCNL or ureteroscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy are preferred due to the extreme hardness of cystine stones.
Yes, cystine stones are among the hardest kidney stones and are more resistant to ESWL than other stone types. They often require PCNL or ureteroscopy with high-powered laser for effective fragmentation. Lifelong medical prevention is critical to reduce recurrence.
