		Cystinuria is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder and is characterized by the formation of cystine stones in the kidneys, ureter, and bladder.
		Cystinuria is characterized by the inadequate reabsorption of cystine during the filtering process in the kidneys, thus resulting in a excessive concentration of this amino acid.

		If you have, or bred, a deerhound who is diagnosed with cystinuria, please contact John Dillberger, DVM, who is coordinating this effort for the Scottish Deerhound, and ask her how you can participate in the ongoing deerhound cystinuria study at the University of Pennsylvania.
		Very basically, cystinuria is a genetic defect in which the kidney is not able to process a basic amino acid, cystine, correctly.

	Cystinuria - Womens Health and Medical Information on MedicineNet.com
		Cystinuria is an inherited (genetic) disorder of the transport of an amino acid (a building block of protein) called cystine resulting in cystinuria (an excess of cystine in the urine) and the formation of cystine stones.

	eMedicine - Cystinuria : Article by Shekhar Biyani, MS, D Urol, FRCS (Urol), FEBU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Background: Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive defect in reabsorptive transport of cystine and the dibasic amino acids ornithine, arginine, and lysine from the luminal fluid of the renal proximal tubule and small intestine.
		Transport of L-cystine in the brush-border membrane vesicle is sodium-independent and electrogenic.
		Prevalences of cystinuria are 1 case in 18,000 in Japan, 1 case in 2500 in Israel, 1 case in 2000 in Great Britain, 1 case in 4000 in Australia, 1 case in 1900 in Spain, 1 case in 2500 in Libyan Jews, and 1 case in 100,000 in Sweden.

		Cystinuria is an inherited disorder caused by a defect in the transport of cystine, an amino acid, in the kidney tubules.
		Cystinuria in humans and dogs is generally treated with compounds that bind cystine and prevent crystal formation.
		Cystinuria should be suspected in young male Newfoundlands with evidence of chronic urinary problems (difficult urination, blood in urine, inability to urinate).

	Cystinuria (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Cystinuria is an inherited metabolic disorder characterized by the abnormal movement (transport) in the intestines and kidneys, of certain organic chemical compounds (amino acids).
		In Type I Cystinuria, there is a defect in the active transport of cystine and the amino acids (dibasic) lysine, arginine, and ornithine in the kidneys and small intestine.
		In Type II Cystinuria, cystine and lysine transport is severely impaired in the kidneys and only somewhat impaired in the intestines.

		Cystinuria is a rare disorder that results in excretion of the amino acid cystine into the urine, often causing cystine stones to form in the urinary tract.
		Cystinuria is caused by an inherited defect of the kidney tubules.
		Cystine crystals may be seen during a microscopic examination of the urine (urinalysis), and cystine levels are measured in the urine.
