Cystinosis
Diagnosis in short

Changes of cystinosis in the kidney. H&E stain.

LM dependent on site, kidney: multinucleation of podocytes, bone marrow: histiocytes with (cysteine) crystals
Molecular cystinosin gene mutation
Site kidney, bone marrow, others

Associated Dx nephrolithiasis, chronic renal failure
Clinical history +/-consanguinity
Prevalence rare
Other hexagonal shaped crystals in urine

Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease and very rare.[1]
