Prevention

There is no known prevention for cystinuria. Any person with a known history of stones in the urinary tract should drink enough fluids to maintain a high urinary output by day and by night, allowing stones and crystals to be excreted before they become large enough to cause symptoms. Keeping the urine alkaline diminishes the risk of cystine stones.
