What are the symptoms of cystine stones?

The symptoms of cystine stones are similar to those of kidney stones.

Symptoms can include:

  • Painful urination.
  • Vomiting and upset stomach.
  • Seeing blood in your urine.
  • Feeling a sharp pain in your side or back (this is typically on one side of the body).
  • Feeling pain in your groin or abdomen.

In some cases, a urinary tract infection (UTI) may occur because a cystine stone is stuck. Cystine stones tend to be larger than other types of kidney stones, causing complications like UTIs.
