A member asked:
I have cystinuria and my kidney function is always high. what are the health risks-side effects of high kidney function over an extended period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney Failure: As you may know Cystinuria is a genetic disorder which leads to increased Cystine in the urine and cystine stones ( a type of kidney stone) in the urinary tract. If your kidney function is impaired you should definitely be closely watched by a kidney specialist ( Nephrologist) who can monitor and try to minimize the damage to your kidneys. The risk is failure and need for long term dialysis.
