CYSTINURIA
Cystinuria is an autosomal-recessive defect in
reabsorptive transport of cystine and the dibasic
amino acids ornithine, arginine, and lysine from the
luminal fluid of the renal proximal tubule and small
intestine. The only phenotypic manifestation of
cystinuria is cystine urolithiasis
1 in 7000 births
1-2% of all stone formers
Up to 5% in pediatric stone formers

![Page 5: Management of cystine stone](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a690b01a28abd5378b471c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Renal transport of cystine• Amino acids filtered undergo nearly complete reabsorption by
proximal tubular cells.
• Only 0.4% of the filtered cystine appears in the urine.
• . At least 2 transport systems are responsible for cystinereabsorption, as follows:
- High-affinity system:
This system is affected in persons with cystinuria.
Mediates uptake of 10% of cystine and the dibasic
amino acids at the third segment (S3) of the proximal
tubule.
- Low-affinity system:
: This system is present in the (S1-S2)
part of the proximal tubule and is responsible for 90%
of cystine reabsorption.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY (CONT)
Intestinal transport of cystine
The high-affinity transporter is present in the apical
brush-border membrane of the jejunum and is
responsible for absorption of cystine and dibasic
amino acids.
![Page 7: Management of cystine stone](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a690b01a28abd5378b471c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY (CONT)
Normally, cystine and the other dibasic amino acids
(ie, ornithine, lysine, arginine) are filtered at the
glomerulus and reabsorbed in the proximal
convoluted tubule
. Defects in this channel cause elevated levels of
dibasic amino acid secretion in the urine.
Whereas ornithine, lysine, and arginine are
completely soluble, cystine is relatively insoluble at
physiologic urine pH levels of 5-7

PRESENTATION
Presentation is similar to that of other types of renal
calculi and includes renal colic, chronic urinary tract
infections in a young person with a family history of
renal stones, passage of stones or gravel,
hematuria, and dysuria.

DIAGNOSIS
Diagnostic confirmation:
Positive family history of cystinuria
Stone analysis showing cystine
Identification of pathognomonic hexagonal cystine
crystals on urinalysis
A positive cyanide-nitroprusside screen indicates a
urinary cystine concentration >75 mg/L
Quantitative 24-h urinary cystine excretion more
than 30 mg/day are considered abnormal

:CYSTINE STONE CHARACTERISTICS
Poor radiopacity
visualized with non-contrast CT
SWL-resistant stones
Two thirds of persons with cystinuria who form
stones make pure cystine calculi
One third have a mixture of cystine and calcium
oxalate calculi.

MANAGEMENT
![Page 12: Management of cystine stone](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a690b01a28abd5378b471c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
TREATMENT :
The aim of medical therapy is to maintain the
cystine concentration in the urine below its solubility
level
solubility of cystine in urine from 175 to 360 mg/L ≈
about 243 mg/L
avoiding cystine crystallisation is to maintain urine
pH
between 7.5. and 8.5

TRAETMENT (CONSERVATIVE)
High fluid intake
Sodium and protein restriction
Urinary alkalinization

RESISTANT TO CONSERVATIVE THERAPY
Cystine is formed from the linkage of two cysteine
molecules by a disulfide bond
sulfhydryl groups that can reduce this disulfide bond,
producing mixed disulfides with cysteine that are
more soluble than cystine

SURGICAL PROCEDURES
Indications:
Large calculi that are unlikely to dissolve
Obstructing or otherwise symptomatic calculi.
The ultimate goal of surgery is to make the patient
free of stones. While the risk of recurrence is
unchanged
