title: Captopril therapy of recurrent nephrolithiasis in a child with cystinuria.
abstract: Traditional and current therapies for cystinuria have been difficult for patients, only partially effective, or associated with substantial risk of serious side effects. We present a case of cystinuria that has been managed for 1 year on captopril, with elimination of recurrent nephrolithiasis and with no observable morbidity.
