Q1
A toddler has recurrent kidney stones and hematuria. Urinalysis shows hexagonal crystals and elevated cystine. Genetic testing reveals a mutation in an apical renal transporter responsible for reabsorbing dibasic amino acids. Using the concept of loss of transport function leading to metabolite loss and precipitation, which outcome is most consistent?
