A 41-year-old white man was referred to the Washington University renal stone center 3 years ago following a ureteroscopic lithotripsy for an obstructing right mid-ureteral stone 2 months earlier. The patient was asymptomatic and had an unremarkable dietary history.His medical history was long and complicated. He had had recurrent nephrolithiasis since his childhood, and he carried the diagnosis of cystinuria. He had undergone a left nephrectomy 24 years ago at age 17 for complications during a nephrolithotomy for a staghorn calculus. He had stopped forming renal stones until 11 years ago, when he developed an ileocolic fistula and was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. After several intestinal resections and development of various fistula tracks, he underwent an ileostomy 6 years ago. Following recovery, his inflammatory bowel disease was controlled by medications. He gained weight and developed a stable ileostomy excretory volume of approximately 1.5 L/day. However, he experienced recurrent nephrolithiasis. Four years ago, he was treated for renal colic in the Department of Urology at the University of Alabama. He had a 2.5 cm stone in the renal pelvis, which required percutaneous nephrolithotomy; the extracted stone was 97% cystine. At that time, his serum creatinine was 1.6 mg/dL; creatinine clearance, 90 mL/min; and protein excretion, 100 mg/24 h.
