Video Summary

Cystinuria is an inherited metabolic disorder that causes the body to accumulate large amounts of cysteine. Too much cysteine in urine can precipitate into crystals and renal stones, leading to associated symptoms like renal colic (intense pain in the lower back flanks and iliac fossae), hematuria, urinary tract obstruction which increases the risk of infections, and possible damage to the kidneys due to obstruction of the urinary tract.
