what u said its a matter of perfection except that according to my knowlage the cystine stones doesn't form a stag horn it form a hexagonal cystine crystals.. the stag horn formed by Magnesium-amonium-phosphate (Struvite) StonesCystine is essentially two molecules of cysteine just like how homocystine is essentially two molecules of homocysteine
<O></O>
In cystinuria, there's defective excretion of dibasic amino acids which are cysteine, ornithine, lysine, and arginine
<O></O>
So as cysteine accumulates, two molecules get attached via disulphide bond and cystine forms and accumulates which may lead to formation of stag-horn calculi in the urine
Thanks for the correction Betrowhat u said its a matter of perfection except that according to my knowlage the cystine stones doesn't form a stag horn it form a hexagonal cystine crystals.. the stag horn formed by Magnesium-amonium-phosphate (Struvite) Stones
am i right ?!![]()
