Fun fact: cystinuria was the first of the genetic kidney stone diseases to be characterized. Garrod presented his findings at the 1908 Croonian Lectures in London. Primary hyperoxaluria was the next to be described, and that was in 1925 by Lepoutre.

Cystine crystals (bright field, x400).
Their presence in #urinarysediment is pathognomonic for #cystinuria, the most common kidney stone disease with Mendelian genetics.
While perfectly specific, the sensitivity of cystine crystalluria is quite low.
