title: Metabolic disturbances in cystinuria.
abstract: Metabolic investigations were made in 21 cystinuric patients. The results showed a low output of urinary phosphorus and an increase of plasma IgG. These findings and the presence of uric acid in the urine, even in normal values, could play an important role in pathogenesis and stone formation, and also in cystinuria.
