Laterality of symptomatic cystine calculi.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate patterns of laterality in cystine stone formation to determine whether phenotypic expression of this genetic disease is distributed equally in each kidney. Cystinuria is a genetic defect that may result in the formation of recurrent cystine calculi. Significant nongenetic factors may play a role in the manifestation of this disease. METHODS Thirty-four patients seen in ...

متن کاملThe Clinical Impact of Accurate Cystine Calculi Characterization Using Dual-Energy Computed Tomography
Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has recently been suggested as the imaging modality of choice for kidney stones due to its ability to provide information on stone composition. Standard postprocessing of the dual-energy images accurately identifies uric acid stones, but not other types. Cystine stones can be identified from DECT images when analyzed with advanced postprocessing. This case...
