The detail information of Cystinuria
Basic Information

Disease Description: An abnormal excretion of a substance (cystine) in the urine.

Inherit Mode: -

Disease Symptom: -

Disease Cause: -

Disease Diagnose: -

Treat Method: Cystine uroliths can be surgically removed or medically dissolved. Feeding a protein restricted diet low in methionine and increasing water intake will dilute the crystals, but salt should not be administered as increased sodium may increase urine cystine excretion. Increasing urine pH > 7.5 will increase solubility of crystals. Potassium citrate is preferred over sodium bicarbonate due to sodium's effect on increasing urine cystine. D-penicillamine changes cystine to more soluble form. D-penicillamine delays wound healing and should be avoided immediately after surgery if calculi are surgically removed. Alpha-mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG) has fewer side effects and appears to be more effective than D-penicillamine, but is not approved yet for use in dogs.
