I deal with chronic cystinuria. It is a rare genetic disorder (rBAT on Chromosome 2 is deficient)that doesn't allow me to absorb four amino acids (Cystine, ornithine, lysine and arginine). The cystine is not water soluble so it tends to collect and crystallize in my kidneys. As a result, I form lots and lots of kidney stones.
