In collaboration withDutch logo
Cystinuria is a kidney disease that occurs in Miniature Pinschers due to a mutation on the SLC7A9 gene. The condition causes significant levels of cystine to accumulate in the urine, which can lead to crystals and stones in the urinary tract. If left untreated, these formations can block the urethra.
