Abstract
The Authors report the clinical features of cystine nephrolithiasis in 57 patients with cystinuria observed from 1972 to 1980. The disease affects both sexes with equal frequency and severity. Symptom usually begin early, mostly between 15 and 20 years, but may develop at any age. Treatment consists of the administration of adequate oral fluids to obtain a copious urine volume, of oral alkali and of α-mercaptopropionylglycine. Successful results, from litholytic and from preventive medical treatment, were obtained in a high percentage of cases.
