  5. 3. Clinical studies on cystinuria : With special reference to treatment with tiopronin

    Author : Åke Lindell; Bo G. Danielson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Cystinuria is an inherited disorder of the renal tubular transport of cystine and the dibasic amino acids across cell membranes.

    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Cystinuria is a genetic disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance. It is caused by a defective proximal tubular reabsorbtion of cystine and the dibasic amino acids.
