Four patients with recurrent cystine stones and 5 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were studied. After a single dose of D-penicillamine to cystinuric patients, cystine excretion decreased considerably. Cysteine-penicillamine mixed disulfide (CSSP) and penicillamine disulfide (PSSP) metabolites appeared within 1-2 h (CSSP/PSSP approximately equal to 4.8-8.6). In RA, cystine excretion remained negligible (CSSP/PSSP approximately equal to 1.4-2.9). With daily D-penicillamine in RA (CSSP/PSSP ratios were usually greater than 7 in those with favorable clinical response. CSSP/PSSP ratios may help to predict prognosis and adjust penicillamine dosage. Coadministration of probenecid is contraindicated in hyperuricemic cystinuric patients because of increased cystine and decreased CSSP and PSSP excretion.
