Cystinuria – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Cystinuria, an uncommon condition affecting the transport of amino acids in renal tubules, is characterized by recurrent kidney stone formation primarily composed of cystine. This disorder follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. It is attributed to mutations in the SLC7A9 and SLC3A1 genes, which encode a protein complex that regulates kidney amino acid reabsorption. Genetic alterations in these genes disrupt the function of the protein complex, leading to increased cystine concentration in urine. Clinical presentation mirrors that of obstructive urolithiasis, featuring symptoms such as flank pain, hematuria, vomiting, and fever, with variations observed in pediatric cases, including dysuria, recurrent abdominal pain, and urinary tract infections. Stone analysis remains pivotal for precise diagnosis, the gold standard for identifying kidney stone types, including cystine stones. The current treatment paradigm for cystine stone formers advocates a stepwise approach, comm...
