1.1.3 Cystine Stones Cystine stones account for 1%–2% of stone formers, although they represent a higher percentage of stones in children (about 5%). Cystinuria is a genetic cause of kidney stones with an average prevalence of 1 in 7000 births. Cystine stones are predominantly seen in pati...
It has been suggested recently that the first step in the formation of calcium oxalate stones appears to be crystallisation. This step is said to depend on the state of saturation of the urine. This hypothesis was checked in cystine stone formers. Cystine crystalluria was found in 83% of 24...
Cystine as a source of food supplements are used in varied nail and skin vitamin formulas such as Perfectil. It's a substance to avoid because it causes cancers, stones, decaying bones, swelling around eyes and bloating. -- Dr. N. Wijesinha...
Thiola® helps prevent cystine kidney stone formation in patients who are resistant to changes in diet and high fluid intake by keeping their cystine levels below the line of solubility.

Summary Although they are two very distinct entities, uric acid and cystine stone disease share a common physico-chemical backgroud, i.e. urinary supersaturation with respect to a compound that is poorly soluble in an acid milieu. Therefore, high-fluid intake and urine alkalinization, preferably ...
This can cause kidney stones as well as deposits in the ureters and bladder. Cystinosis is a rare genetic disorder occurring in young children. It is characterized by the abnormal metabolism of cystine and the accumulation of cystine crystals in cellular tissues. These crystals can adversely ...
Kidney Stones: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Therapy Charles Y.C. Pak, in Metabolic Bone Disease and Clinically Related Disorders (Third Edition), 1998 A Causal Role of Cystine in Stone Formation Cystine is sparingly soluble in urine. Its solubility is greater at higher pH and is enhanced by el...
