What is Cystine Quantitative Urine?

This test measures the amount of cystine, an amino acid, excreted in your urine over a specific period. It helps evaluate kidney function and amino acid reabsorption.

Why is this test important?

High levels of cystine in urine are a key indicator of cystinuria, a genetic kidney disorder that can lead to the formation of kidney stones. This test is vital for diagnosing and managing cystinuria to prevent complications.

How to Prepare

You may be asked to collect all urine over a 24-hour period. Specific instructions will be provided.
