Heterozygotes may excrete high levels of cystine, but rarely develop stones. Treatment in patients involves high fluid intake, and maintaining the urine pH above 7, because cystine is soluble at high pH. Cystine levels may also be controlled by sodium and protein restricted diet (Worcester and ...

To further investigate the relationship between dietary sodium and urinary cystine, five patients with cystinuria and a mean 17-year history of recurrent cystine stones were studied. Initially, all patients were on unrestricted diets (high sodium diet) when they completed the first set of 24-h ...
The normal diet was then replaced with the supplemented diet (ascorbic acid/captopril) for the next 48 weeks and various biochemical parameters in urine and plasma were analyzed. All homozygous mice developed urinary cystine stones during the first year of life. No reduction in the urinary cystine...
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 ...

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...
