Whats New ?

Rare renal disease cystinuria group. Cystinuria has now been recognised as a rare disease nationally. Kay Thomas is the co-chair of the newly formed group hoping to bring clinicians and patients together to manage and study this disease better.

New cookbook under development

This website was written and designed by a group of interested health care professionals and patients, all of whom felt that the current information on the web about cystinuria was limited, confusing and not particularly orientated to British patients. It has been designed to provide clear and concise information for cystinuric patients and/ or their friends and family. Our aim is threefold:

To help patients develop a better understanding of cystinuria.
To offer specific information about the investigation and treatment of cystinuric stones.
To improve the non-surgical management of stones, and in particular to improve efforts to prevent stones through changed diet.

Patients often have common themes to their presentation but because the disease is rare, may not meet other affected individuals, and so are unable to share their stories.

If you feel that anything is incorrect or if there is anything you would like to see on the this website then please contact us and let us know what you think via the Contact/ Feedback form.

The website has been written and designed by healthcare professionals from Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust with significant contributions from several patients who wish to remain anonymous.

Miss Kay Thomas, Consultant Urological Surgeon

"I have a specialist interest in cystinuria and in particular the preventative measures which may be useful in helping patients have some control over the impact of their disease. I established a multi-disciplinary specialist clinic for cystinuria which has led to the development of this website."
