Cystinuria. Causes, Symptoms, Treatment
Violation of cystine exchange at the level of renal tubules leads to this disease. Cystin, being a hard-soluble amino acid, accumulates in body fluids, especially those that have a sour Wednesday.
Symptoms
The disease is manifested as inflammation in various organs due to irritation by their products of cystine exchange (in particular, as gastritis, inflammation of the duodenum, ulcerative disease, pyelonephritis, inflammation of the bladder, biliary tract).
Treatment
If a child is suspected of a cystinuria (in the urine increased the increased content of cystine), and in his family there are cases of urine and biliary diseases, it serves as an indication for the purpose of diet and therapy.
The diet is based on the restriction of the introduction with the food products of the amino acid of methionine, which is the predecessor of cystine. For this, cottage cheese, fish, cheese, mushrooms, egg whites are completely excluded. All other animal proteins are allowed to eat only in the morning hours, a vegetarian table is recommended at lunch and in the evening. This is due to the fact that cystine accumulates in the body in the evening and night hours.
In addition to diet food, pharmacological preparations are used — Vitamins (pyridoxine, ascorbic acid), as well as sodium salts. In the period of exacerbation of the disease, a vegetarian (potato-vegetable) diet with the complete exception of animal proteins is applied to 2—3 weeks.
