Long-term follow-up of well-treated nephropathic cystinosis patients

Robert Kleta et al. J Pediatr. 2004 Oct.

Abstract

We report the excellent clinical outcomes of siblings with nephropathic cystinosis treated diligently with cysteamine starting at 20 months and 2 months of age. Now 15 and 8 years old, they have glomerular filtration rates of 78 and 105 mL/min/1.73m 2 , respectively. These cases illustrate the critical importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
