Experiences with acetylcysteine in cystinuric patients.

Abstract

Acetylcysteine seems to be beneficial in treating cystinuric stone-forming patients. It probably is effective in reducing cysteine to cystine disulfide, which is more soluble. Six brief case reports demonstrate its use and its lack of toxicity. The results merit a larger clinical trial.
