Cystine Stones
Cystine stones are an uncommon type of urinary tract stone that form due to a hereditary alteration causing excessive excretion of cystine, an amino acid, in the urine, where it tends to crystallize.
Common symptoms: back or flank pain, discomfort when urinating, blood in the urine, and urinary tract infections that may recur.
When to see a doctor? Intense pain when urinating, blood in the urine, or repeated episodes of stones warrant evaluation, especially when they begin at an early age.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist evaluates this condition and, when it appears in childhood, the pediatric nephrologist is the right choice. Because of its hereditary and recurrent nature, follow-up with these professionals is the most advisable approach.
