Image Transcript
Renal calculi, or kidney stones, a cause of post-renal acute kidney injury
(AKI), are hard deposits that can form in the kidneys, causing many
urinaryrelated symptoms, such as back pain, abdominal pain, and blood in the
urine. The amount, size, and location of stones play a factor in the urgency of
the condition.
Renal Calculi Risk Factors
Which factor is most associated with the formation of renal calculi?
Decreased urine volume
Reduced phosphate levels
Low calcium diet
, lOMoAR cPSD| 67691079
High fluid intake
Composition of Renal Calculi
Which statements are true about the composition of renal calculi? Select all
that apply.
Calcium stones are linked to low urine pH.
Uric acid stones can be associated with gout.
Cystine stones can occur due to an autosomal recessive genetic defect.
Calcium stones can be associated with hyperparathyroidism.
Struvite stones typically form in alkaline urine.
Renal Calculi Types and Risk Factors
Match the following types of renal calculi with their associated risk factors.
