    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Cystine stones are a manifestation of cystinuria, a rare inherited metabolic disorder.
    • Patients often undergo multiple surgical interventions before accurate diagnosis and medical management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the challenges in diagnosing cystine stones.
    • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and medical treatment for cystinuria.
    • To review the pathogenesis and treatment rationale for cystine stones.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case review of 9 patients with cystine stones.
    • Analysis of previous surgical history and diagnostic timelines.
    • Review of cystinuria pathogenesis and medical treatment strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Nine patients (5 male, 4 female) presented with cystine stones.
    • A total of 18 operations were performed across 8 patients prior to cystinuria diagnosis.
    • Medical treatment was instituted after diagnosis, underscoring a delay in care.

    Conclusions:

    • Early diagnosis of cystinuria is critical to prevent recurrent stone formation and unnecessary surgeries.
    • Timely medical management can significantly improve outcomes for patients with cystine stones.
    • Increased awareness among healthcare providers is needed for prompt identification of cystinuria.
