Cystinuria - Prevention

Alternative Names

Stones - cystine; Cystine stones

Prevention:

There is no known prevention for cystinuria. Any person with a known history of stones in the urinary tract should drink plenty of fluids to regularly produce a high amount of urine. This allows stones and crystals to leave the body before they become large enough to cause symptoms.
