CYSTINURIA TREATMENT
About the Disease
Cystinuria is a rare, inherited disease characterized by the build-up of the amino acid cystine, a building block of most proteins, in the kidneys and bladder. As the kidneys filter blood to create urine, cystine is usually absorbed back into the bloodstream. People with cystinuria cannot properly reabsorb cystine into their bloodstream, so the amino acid accumulates in their urine, resulting in cystine crystals and/or stones in the kidneys or bladder. Cystinuria affects approximately 1 in 10,000 people of all genders, races, ethnicities, and ages in the US.
About our Patient Care
We work with the physician's office and insurance on a patient's behalf, so patients have more time to focus on their treatment and quality of life. We are here to listen, provide counseling on treatment, including side-effect management, and assist with sourcing third-party financial assistance.
As part of treatment, we provide:
Dedicated Care Team
We provide prescribers and patients with a dedicated patient care team for Cystinuria, including a primary pharmacy contact, clinical education, side-effects management, scheduled refill calls, and a direct phone, fax, and email address.
