Cystinuria in Children
Copyright policy )Cystinuria in Children
7 children, 20 months to 11 years old, with cystinuria and renal calculi were studied. Surgical treatment and alpha-mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG) gave satisfactory results in 5 children. The causes of the recurrences in the other 2 children are discussed. MPG therapy is effective but can cause a nephrotic syndrome at a dose of more than 50 mg/kg/day. A cystinuria of less than 200 mg/day cannot always be considered safe in children. The alkalinization and dilution of urine remain extremely important in the treatment of cystinuria.
